Quote:

"Gene Therapy

Biogen has a major collaborative agreement with a start-up company called GENOVO in the new research area of gene therapy. We believe this is the most important new approach to drug discovery since the earliest days of the biotechnology revolution. The ultimate goal of gene therapy is the replacement of genes, but such direct cures still a long time off.
Immunotherapeutics are much closer at hand.These are protein-based drugs that work like sophisticated vaccines,injecting synthesized DNA directly into affected cells that are part of the diseased organ. Such an approach gives greater specifity in targeting drugs and the ability to treat complex diseases that have a genetic component. Italso provides a drug-delivery system that canhelp turn basic research findings into viable, cost-effective therapies."
