About Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics

AMT has a unique gene therapy platform that to date appears to circumvent many if not all of the obstacles that have prevented gene therapy from becoming a mainstay of clinical medicine. Using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors as the delivery vehicle of choice for therapeutic genes, the company has been able to design and validate what is probably the first stable and scalable AAV GMP production platform. As such, AMT's proprietary platform holds tremendous promise for thousands of (rare) diseases that are caused by one faulty gene. AMT currently has a product pipeline with nine products at different stages of development.
