Dr. H. Fai Poon is a distinguished leader in the biopharmaceutical industry, currently serving as the CEO of Sirnaomics. His impressive career includes founding Quacell, which was later acquired by Lepure, and holding key positions at Hisun Biopharm, Merck (SAFC), and the Roskamp Institute in the USA. Dr. Poon's academic credentials are equally notable, with a Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry from the University of Kentucky and an MBA from the University of South Florida.

With extensive experience in biological therapeutics, analytical research, bioinformatics and proteomics, Dr. Poon has over a decade of expertise in cell culture, particularly focusing on biopharmaceutical products. His scholarly contributions are substantial, having published more than 30 peer-reviewed articles and contributing to over 5 book chapters.

Dr. Poon's influence extends to the editorial realm, where he serves as the managing editor for a biomedical and pharmacology journal, and as an associate editor for the Journal of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology, as well as the Journal of Bioinformatics and Biometrics. His leadership and expertise continue to drive innovation and excellence in the field of RNA therapeutics and beyond.

At Sirnaomics, as a pioneer in siRNA therapeutics and a publicly traded company, we recognise that precision delivery is the cornerstone of effective RNAi treatments. Our proprietary PNP (Polymer Nanoparticle) and GalNAc platforms are designed to overcome the challenges of tissue-specific targeting, particularly in complex diseases like cancer and fibrosis. The PNP platform enhances tumor penetration, while GalNAc ensures hepatocyte-specific delivery, both critical for minimising off-target effects. With chemical modifications to improve stability and reduce immunogenicity, our technologies set a new standard for siRNA delivery, particularly in oncology space. As a leader in this space, Sirnaomics is also open to licensing these cutting-edge platforms to other siRNA developers, enabling broader advancements in the field.

Sirnaomics’ leadership in siRNA delivery is exemplified by our clinical successes, such as STP705, which leverages our PNP technology to achieve targeted knockdown of TGF-β1 and COX-2 in fibrotic and oncologic indications. With a 60% complete response rate in basal cell carcinoma (Phase II) and scalable, cost-efficient manufacturing, our platforms are not only clinically viable but also commercially competitive. As a publicly traded company, we are uniquely positioned to drive innovation and partnerships in the RNAi space. We welcome collaboration and licensing opportunities to expand the reach of our technologies, ensuring more patients benefit from next-generation siRNA therapies.

The next five years will see transformative advancements in RNA therapeutics, and Sirnaomics is at the forefront of this evolution. Beyond liver and oncology applications, we are pioneering siRNA delivery for CNS and cardiac diseases, leveraging novel conjugates platforms like Antibody Oligo Drug Conjudates (AODC). The integration of AI for sequence optimisation and combo therapies (e.g., siRNA + CRISPR) will further accelerate progress. As a publicly traded innovator, Sirnaomics is committed to shaping the future of RNAi, through internal R&D and strategic partnerships. Our open approach to licensing ensures that our technologies can empower the entire siRNA ecosystem.

At the upcoming RNA Therapeutics & Manufacturing Asia 2025 conference, Sirnaomics is excited to engage with peers on three key themes:

  1. Breakthroughs in circular RNA, which could surpass traditional siRNA in durability;
  2. Innovations in continuous manufacturing to reduce costs below $100/dose; and
  3. Regulatory harmonization for RNA therapies in APAC markets.

As a publicly traded leader in siRNA, we see this as an opportunity to showcase our platforms, explore collaborations and license our technologies to accelerate global access to RNAi therapeutics.
