About Us

At Metageno­mi, we believe genome edit­ing tools with capa­bil­i­ties that go beyond the cur­rent tech­nol­o­gy land­scape will be required in order to treat the vast major­i­ty of patients. Our goal is to unlock the full poten­tial of genome edit­ing by devel­op­ing tools with new capa­bil­i­ties using nov­el cel­lu­lar machin­ery dis­cov­ered from the nat­ur­al environment. 

Metageno­mi was found­ed by pio­neers in the field of metage­nomics. They rec­og­nized the pow­er that nat­u­ral­ly evolved micro­bial sys­tems could have in rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing access to enhanced genome edit­ing tech­nolo­gies to cre­ate poten­tial­ly high­ly effi­ca­cious and cura­tive genet­ic med­i­cines. Our metage­nomics dis­cov­ery plat­form enables us to rapid­ly and effec­tive­ly find and engi­neer high­ly active nat­ur­al enzymes sourced from nature into genome edit­ing tools that are high­ly spe­cif­ic, effi­cient, and have enhanced targetability.

As the genet­ic med­i­cine field con­tin­ues to rapid­ly evolve, our plat­form posi­tions us to be at the fore­front of unlock­ing the full poten­tial of genome edit­ing through the con­tin­u­ous dis­cov­ery of new edit­ing sys­tems and the devel­op­ment of the next wave of genet­ic med­i­cines for patients.
