Bridging Innovative RNA Biology and Drug Discovery
Our mission:
By combining multidisciplinary academic innovators with biotech-inspired objectives and focus, our goal is to uncover novel disease solutions by advancing the science of RNA regulation, developing new technological platforms, and discovering early-stage therapeutics.
Our Approach:
Recruit and nucleate current and next generation leaders in RNA biology and cultivate environment of collaboration, technology innovation and entrepreneurship
Build multi-disciplinary drug discovery teams focused on translating transformative RNA discoveries into therapeutics utilizing biotech best practices
Integrate academic innovators with therapeutic teams to bridge the gap between discovery and clinically applicable therapies
