The company is headquartered in Redwood City, California and currently employs 155 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2014-07-31. The company discovers and develops gene therapy product candidates that provide durable efficacy by inducing sustained expression of a therapeutic protein. Its lead product candidate, ixoberogene soroparvovec (Ixo-vec), is a single, in-office intravitreal (IVT) injection gene therapy product designed to deliver long-term durable therapeutic levels of aflibercept associated with a sustained treatment response, reducing the treatment burden and fluctuations in macular fluid associated with bolus anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) IVT injections.
