Luna RD possesses proprietary LNP technology that does not use PEG, as well as drug delivery system (DDS) technology essential for nucleic acid drugs. The Company stated that this technology may enable it to avoid royalty burdens associated with existing patents and reduce safety risks attributable to PEG, and that it plans to consolidate the technology within NANO MRNA's drug discovery platform.
