Metagenomi focuses on developing new genome editing tools for genetic medicine. The company explores natural environments to find undiscovered genetic material, which is then sequenced and engineered into potential therapeutics. By utilizing artificial intelligence and high-throughput screening, Metagenomi can quickly analyze billions of proteins to identify efficient and specific genome editing tools. This approach sets them apart from competitors who may rely on more traditional methods of discovery. The goal of Metagenomi is to create curative treatments for diseases through advanced gene editing technologies, ultimately benefiting healthcare providers and patients.
