About the Company

Wave Life Sciences USA

Clinical-stage biotech developing stereopure oligonucleotides

Wave Life Sciences develops stereopure nucleic acid therapies for genetically defined diseases. Its PRISM platform designs stereopure oligonucleotides that enable RNA interference, antisense silencing, splicing modulation, and RNA editing, including AIMers that recruit ADAR enzymes to edit RNA without changing the DNA. The company funds R&D mainly through partnerships and licensing (notably with GSK) and has programs in conditions like Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Huntington’s disease, and obesity. Its goal is to bring approved RNA medicines to patients by advancing a diversified pipeline and sustaining long-term collaborations that fund development.
