Ambulero is a pioneer in the use of gene and cell therapy approaches to enhance expression of a key cell adhesion molecule (E-selectin) to treat vascular disease and non-healing wounds. We are pleased to announce our commitment to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for our lead product, AMB-301, by late 2024. Once achieved, this significant milestone will bring us closer to testing this  gene therapy drug in the clinic.
