GENEGUT Oral delivery of encapsulated RNA nanotherapeutics for targeted treatment of ileal Crohn's disease

Coordinator: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK - NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, CORK (IE)

Crohn’s disease is a non-communicable, global disease with an accelerating incidence (up to 23 per 100,000 persons/year) and annual health costs in excess of 5 billion euro in Europe. Despite advances in new immune modulators and biological treatment, up to 30% of patients become non-responders, highlighting the pressing need for novel, advanced therapies. GENEGUT will transform treatment of ileal Crohn’s disease (CD) by developing a first-in-class oral RNA-based therapy, tackling inflammation locally in the intestinal tissue, while avoiding systemic side effects. The success of mRNA covid va…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €4.6M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2022-10-01 to 2026-09-30.
