Proprietary Aptamer PlatformA proprietary aptamer platform and focused pipeline in ophthalmology and rare diseases is a durable competitive asset: platforms can generate multiple candidate programs, increase bargaining power with partners, and support recurring licensing or royalty streams if clinical success is achieved across indications.
