Sirna Therapeutics

Sirna Therapeutics

Sirna Therapeutics (nasdaq|RNAI) is a San Francisco, California based biotechnology company that explores the use of RNA interference in human disease therapy. Sirna's development pipeline includes several small interfering RNA (siRNA) drugs, thought to stably silence the expression of specific disease-related genes. Sirna's clinical trial of an siRNA-based treatment for age-related macular degeneration is the first such trial for an siRNA drug.cite web|url=http://www.sirna.com/wt/page/ocular|title = Ocular Therapeutic Pipeline|accessdate=2007-02-12] Sah D (2006). "Therapeutic potential of RNA interference for neurological disorders". "Life Sci" 79 (19): 1773-80. PMID 16815477]

Sirna Therapeutics was acquired by Merck & Co. in 2006 in a deal worth $1.1 billion. [http://www.merck.com/newsroom/press_releases/corporate/2006_1030.html Merck & Co., Inc. Announces Completion of Acquisition of Sirna Therapeutics, Inc.] ]
