About Circio

Building circular RNA expression systems for enhanced gene and cell therapies

Circio Holding ASA is a biotechnology company developing novel circular RNA

expression technology for gene and cell therapy.

Circio has established a unique circular RNA (circRNA) vector expression

technology for next generation RNA, DNA and viral therapeutics. The

proprietary circVec platform is based on a modular genetic construct designed

for efficient biogenesis of multifunctional circRNA inside target cells. The

circVec platform has applications in multiple therapeutic settings, including

genetic medicine, cell therapy and chronic disease. It has demonstrated

75-fold increased RNA half-life and up to 40-fold enhanced protein expression

vs. conventional mRNA-based viral and non-viral vector systems, with the

potential to become a new gold-standard gene expression technology. The

circVec R&D activities are being conducted by the wholly owned subsidiary

Circio AB in Stockholm, Sweden.
