Beacon Therapeutics is a clinical-stage ophthalmic gene therapy company founded in 2023 to save and restore the sight of people living with rare and prevalent retinal diseases that lead to blindness. Built around adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy, the company delivers functional copies of mutated genes into retinal cells so the body can produce the missing therapeutic protein. Its lead clinical program, laru-zova (laruparetigene zovaparvovec), targets X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP), alongside preclinical programs in dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD) and cone-rod dystrophy (CRD), the latter in-licensed from the University of Oxford. Beacon operates across the United Kingdom and the United States, with a corporate base in London and a US presence in the Cambridge, Massachusetts area. It is a therapeutics developer, not a software or data platform company, and publishes no public API, SDK or developer program.
