Company Description

GenEdit is focused on overcoming the major challenge to genetic medicines: Delivery. We aim to overcome this limitation and enable treatment of a broad range of diseases, having a positive impact on the lives of as many people as possible. The foundation of our company is our NanoGalaxy platform. NanoGalaxy contains a library spanning thousands of unique non-viral, non-lipid, polymer nanoparticles. Using our iterative screening process, we are able to identify polymer nanoparticles that can deliver the needed genetic medicine payload to the needed tissue to treat disease.
