Silence Therapeutics plc Stock

Silence Therapeutics plc is a United Kingdom-based biotechnology company. The Company is focused on discovering and developing molecules incorporating short-interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) to inhibit the expression of target genes in the pathology of diseases with unmet medical need. Its siRNA molecules are designed to harness the body's natural mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi), by specifically binding to and degrading messenger RNA (mRNA), molecules that encode specific targeted disease-associated proteins in a cell. The Company's mRNAi GOLD (GalNAc Oligonucleotide Discovery) platform is a platform of precision-engineered medicines designed to target disease-associated genes in the liver. Its wholly owned product candidates include SLN360, for the unmet need in reducing cardiovascular risk in people born with high Lipoprotein (a) levels and SLN124, for rare hematological conditions, including thalassemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and polycythemia vera (PV).
