Enzo Biochem Snapshot
For Enzo Biochem, antisense is perfectly sensible. The biotech company's Enzo Therapeutics segment develops antisense technology, a kind of gene therapy that switches off disease-causing genes, to fight such illnesses as HIV and Crohn's disease. Its work is funded by its two other segments: Enzo Clinical Labs which provides diagnostic testing services in the New York City area and Enzo Life Sciences which makes reagents used in research by pharmaceutical and biotech companies, as well as academic institutions. Enzo Biochem has collaborative partnerships with academic and research centers such as the University of California at San Francisco and the Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem.
