Executive summary
Current state
AICONIC BIOSCIENCES received $305K NSF SBIR Phase I funding to develop a platform for miniaturizing oversized hearing loss genes to fit within AAV packaging limits, targeting a $350M gene therapy market with technical validation as the primary gap.
Market catalyst
Rare hearing loss mutations have fragmented patient advocacy groups (each focused on specific genes) while pharma companies need aggregated patient populations and validated targets, creating a coordination gap that a centralized consortium could capture.
