Peptide-based Delivery Platform

Designed for biological research and industrial applications, not intended for individual clinical or medical purposes.

Our peptide-based delivery platform is an integrated technology suite designed to solve one of the most critical challenges in modern therapeutics—how to safely and precisely deliver genetic medicines, proteins, and small molecules to the right cells. By combining programmable peptide engineering, modular delivery architectures, and advanced formulation capabilities, we provide end-to-end solutions that enable high-efficiency intracellular delivery, tissue-specific targeting, and superior manufacturability. Our platform supports a full spectrum of therapeutic modalities—including mRNA, siRNA, ASO, CRISPR RNPs, biologics, and small molecules—offering researchers and developers a powerful, non-viral alternative for next-generation drug development.

What Are Peptide-Based Delivery Systems?

Peptide-based drug delivery mechanisms including cell penetration, receptor targeting, membrane fusion, and self-assembling nanoparticlesKey mechanisms of peptide-based drug delivery, illustrating cell penetration, receptor-mediated targeting, membrane fusion for endosomal escape, and self-assembly into nanoparticles.

Peptide-based delivery systems are engineered therapeutic carriers composed of short, programmable amino-acid sequences purpose-built to transport genetic medicines, proteins, and small molecules across biological barriers. Unlike viral vectors or conventional lipid nanoparticles, peptide delivery systems leverage intrinsic biological functions—cell penetration, receptor targeting, membrane fusion, and self-assembly—to achieve highly specific and efficient payload delivery.

These systems can be rationally designed to:

  • Bind and transport nucleic acids (mRNA, siRNA, ASO, CRISPR RNP)
  • Deliver functional proteins or enzymes directly to the cytosol
  • Penetrate hard-to-reach tissues, including tumor microenvironments and the central nervous system
  • Exhibit superior stability and manufacturability, thanks to the chemical scalability of peptides
  • Minimize immunogenicity and off-target effects through precision targeting and controlled release

As a fully programmable, non-viral modality, peptide-based delivery enables next-generation therapeutics that require precision, modularity, and safety—unlocking indications inaccessible to traditional delivery systems.
