Company Overview

Our vision is a future where powerful cell & gene therapies are safer, more efficient, and affordable for patients. To this end we are building a technology platform that enables fast, sensitive, quantitative, and cost-effective characterization and optimization of genome editing technologies. Starting with our powerful DNA break mapping technology INDUCE-seq™, our data-driven platform reveals gene editing off-targets throughout the genome, enabling precise characterisation of how genome editors interact with and alter our genomes. This information is essential for the efficient development of novel genome editing systems, will unlock many new editing targets in the genome and enable life-saving therapies that are safer by design.
