Atisama Therapeutics
Rage Bio becomes Atisama Therapeutics
15 May 2026
Rebrand marks transition into clinical-stage development and expansion of preclinical programs into new inflammatory disease targets using SSO platform.
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, 15 May 2026 — Atisama Therapeutics (formerly Rage Bio) (“Atisama” or the “Company”), an Australian clinical-stage biotechnology company developing precision splice-switching oligonucleotide (SSO) therapeutics for chronic inflammatory disease, today announced its rebrand from Rage Bio to Atisama Therapeutics.
Corporate Rebrand: Rage Bio to Atisama Therapeutics
The change from Rage Bio to Atisama Therapeutics marks the Company’s transition from a discovery-stage entity operating under a working name into a clinical-stage therapeutics company. The Company’s new corporate website (atisama.com) provides additional insights.
Atisama comes from Sanskrit roots of ‘superior’ and ‘balanced state’, a reference to the Company’s approach of restoring molecular balance disrupted in chronic inflammatory disease.
“Becoming Atisama Therapeutics is more than a change of name, it marks our transition into a clinical-stage company and reflects what our science is built to do. Our platform is designed to restore the molecular balance that inflammatory disease has disrupted.” said Dr Siro Perez, Chief Executive and Scientific Officer.
