SOHM (OTC: SHMN), a pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical company that manufactures and markets generic drugs covering numerous treatment categories, today announced it has acquired ABBIE, a world-class gene-editing platform that can deliver genetic payloads using non-viral vectors. Through this acquisition, SOHM is well-positioned as a competitive player in the $5.3 billion gene-editing market in 2023, which is expected to grow to $10.8 billion by 2028 at a 15% CAGR. (Source: 2023, Marketsandmarkets.com.) According to the announcement, ABBIE uses targeted integration to insert larger DNA sequences (aka, genetic payload), including full genes, into a desired loci of the target cell’s genome. ABBIE will enable the editing of genes of a large number of cell types at different stages of their life cycles, overcoming the limitations of current cell editing and engineering technologies. “ABBIE is a platform tool that delivers genes of interest for clinical trials,” said David Aguilar, PhD, SOHM’s COO who is leading ABBIE’s development. “Compared to other gene-editing technologies, ABBIE has achieved the same level of progress with much less R&D spending. Our strategic partnerships and capital management have enabled us to streamline development and expedite our commercialization.”
