Develops Prime Editing gene therapies
Prime Medicine develops gene-editing therapies designed to treat a wide range of genetic diseases. The company utilizes a specific technology called "Prime Editing," which acts like a DNA word processor. This system can search for a specific location in the genetic code and replace a faulty segment of DNA with a corrected version, restoring normal function to the gene. Unlike earlier gene-editing methods like CRISPR-Cas9, which often create double-stranded breaks in DNA that can lead to unpredictable insertions or deletions, Prime Editing makes precise changes without breaking both strands of the DNA helix. This approach allows for more control over the final genetic sequence and reduces the risk of unintended mutations. The company’s goal is to create one-time curative treatments that can halt or prevent genetic disorders, providing lifelong health benefits to patients by addressing the root cause of their conditions at the molecular level.
