The company’s pipeline features both direct-acting antivirals and host-targeting therapies designed to reduce viral load and restore immune function. Lead programs include an RNA interference (RNAi) candidate aimed at silencing viral gene expression and next-generation capsid assembly modulators that seek to inhibit viral replication at its core. In addition to its antiviral portfolio, Arbutus leverages proprietary lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery technology to optimize the distribution and cellular uptake of nucleic acid therapeutics. This LNP platform underpins the company’s RNAi assets and has been the foundation for collaborations with other biopharmaceutical organizations seeking efficient delivery systems for mRNA and RNA-based medicines. Arbutus’ focus on innovative delivery solutions complements its antiviral drug discovery capabilities, positioning it at the forefront of HBV research and development. Founded through the merger of Tekmira Pharmaceuticals and OnCore Biopharma, Arbutus maintains dual operations in Warminster, Pennsylvania, and Vancouver, British Columbia. The company’s leadership team combines experience in virology, lipid chemistry and pharmaceutical development, supporting strategic alliances with academic institutions and contract research organizations worldwide. Arbutus continues to engage with global regulatory authorities to advance its clinical trials and seeks partnerships to broaden the reach of its potential HBV therapies.AI Generated.
