Rachel Meyers, Ph.D., Vice President of Research and RNAi Lead Development at Alnylam said, "Our new pre-clinical data with a GalNAc-siRNA conjugate against AAT demonstrate rapid, potent, dose-dependent, and durable knockdown of AAT to greater than 90% resulting in a significant reduction of liver fibrosis and tumor formation.
