Company Overview

Opus Genetics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing gene therapies for inherited retinal diseases, a group of rare disorders that can cause progressive vision loss and blindness. The company’s research is centered on therapies intended to address the underlying genetic causes of these conditions rather than treating only their symptoms.

Opus Genetics is advancing an investigational pipeline of adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy candidates for diseases involving mutations in genes important to retinal function. Its programs are designed to deliver functional genetic material or otherwise correct disease-related biological processes in retinal cells. The company’s lead programs target selected forms of inherited retinitis pigmentosa and other rare retinal disorders.

Founded in 2017, Opus Genetics is based in Durham, North Carolina, and conducts its development activities through collaborations with researchers, medical institutions, and clinical trial sites. As its therapies remain investigational, their safety and effectiveness have not been established for general use.
