Engineering
Living Medicines
for Chronic Diseases
We don’t discover drugs.
We build them.
The future of medicine is cellular. We engineer cell therapies to outsmart chronic diseases. Therapies that are precise, extensible, and act symbiotically with the patient to achieve long-term health. Beyond smart, our therapies are alive.

Pipeline
The path to living medicines.
Our pipeline targets a variety of diseases based on clinical need and regulatory endpoints. Our programs focus on diseases with clear, mechanistic etiology that are readily addressed with defined activities.
Our lead program, enteric hyperoxaluria, is a leading cause of kidney stones and affects hundreds of thousands of people in the US alone. We’ve developed a therapeutic strain that breaks down oxalate before it can be absorbed.
