Who are we

We are a wholly owned Indian subsidiary of a US venture-backed nascent biotech-pharma company with a razor focus on solving one of the biggest problems in the industry---drugs cost too much and take too long to develop. By transforming discovery and development of new medicines into engineering problems, we shun the costly and inefficient prevailing paradigm of trial-and-error screening. We want to solve rare and common diseases with gene-modulatory medicines using precise control over gene- regulatory states, typically targeting both coding and non-coding RNAs directly. We work on gene-modulatory medicines (Oligonucleotide-based medicines or OBMs), which encompass antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), siRNAs, ADAR guides, aptamers etc. We envision engineering new personalized medicines immediately following actionable genetic diagnosis. Our mission is to make gene-centric medicines affordable and rapidly available to patients globally.

As cross-disciplinary scientists and industry veterans, we have recruited a remarkable team of scientific advisors and early partners. We, and our investors, are committed to building a company that will disrupt the pharmaceutical industry. We value intense scientific and engineering innovation as the driver of such a change. We have a very employee-friendly vacation policy, flexible schedule, and highly competitive compensation, health-care benefits, and employee stock plans.
