demonstrated the proprietary capsid variants effectively penetrated the blood-brain barrier and achieved widespread biodistribution and transduction of multiple regions of the brain. Voyager is proceeding with screens of additional NHP campaigns from AAV9 and other capsid serotypes to enable the identification of novel AAV vectors optimized for specific therapeutic applications. Initial results have demonstrated the ability of certain capsids to transduce cardiac tissue and to detarget the dorsal root ganglia.
