Overview
Founded in 1998, VIRxSYS Corporation is a privately-held biotechnology company which focuses on gene therapy. The field of gene therapy holds great promise. However, most of these promises have been unfulfilled due to challenges in developing a transport system that delivers genetic and therapeutic payloads into targeted cells efficiently, reproducibly, and permanently.
