  • Belief BioMed and AskBio will work together to advance potential gene therapies in diseases with high unmet medical need, using a liver-targeted approach.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Belief BioMed Inc. (BBM), a biotech company focusing on innovative gene therapies, today announced a new strategic collaboration with Asklepios BioPharmaceutical, Inc. (AskBio), a gene therapy company wholly owned and independently operated as a subsidiary of Bayer AG, to explore the potential for new gene therapies. 

Under the terms of the contract, the companies will combine efforts and experience in gene therapy technology to explore potential therapies in diseases that may be treatable using a liver-targeted approach. 

Dr. Xiao Xiao, Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Science Officer of Belief BioMed, said, "Focusing on gene therapy, Belief BioMed has achieved exciting results in research, development and production since its inception. The company's proprietary recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector system has also been widely recognized by the industry. Our strategic partnership with AskBio is based on our shared vision, mutual trust and complementary resources and strength. With our joint effort we will be able to bring more innovative treatments in a timely manner to patients around the globe."

Gustavo Pesquin, Chief Executive Officer, AskBio, said, "This strategic collaboration with BBM is an excellent example of how we work at AskBio and is particularly special given the extraordinary contributions Dr. Xiao Xiao has made to the field while at BBM and before as a co-founder of AskBio. Collaborating with innovative, like-minded partners with complementary gene therapy expertise enables us to find the best way forward for our pipeline assets and bolster our efforts to advance new therapies for conditions with significant unmet need."

Dr. Jane Zheng, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Belief BioMed, said, "The high-quality, steady development of Belief BioMed in recent years is not only attributable to the dedication and unremitting efforts of our employees, but also to the strong support given by our external partners. Belief BioMed has always been actively building open, collaborative, and win-win partnerships, just like the cooperation between the two companies this time. Under the framework of this novel and progressive collaboration, we look forward to working together with AskBio to address a wider range of unmet medical needs, and at the same time, taking another solid step towards the goal of Belief BioMed: rooted in China, serving the world."
