Renova Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on developing gene and peptide therapies for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Based in San Diego, California, the company draws on the founders’ decades of experience in the gene therapy field to pursue a portfolio aimed at delivering durable, one-dose treatments for chronic conditions. Its scientific program, led by Dr. H. Kirk Hammond, is supported by peer-reviewed publications that articulate the rationale for their gene-delivery approaches and pipeline strategy. The lead product, RT-100, is designed to deliver a therapeutic gene directly to the heart through a routine outpatient procedure, with the goal of improving cardiac function in congestive heart failure. The pipeline also includes a preclinical gene therapy for type 2 diabetes and a peptide infusion therapy for acute decompensated heart failure.
