The trillions of microbes that call us home – the human microbiome – perform critical functions that preserve our health including helping develop our immune system, manufacturing nutrients such as vitamins, and harvesting energy from the diet. Alterations of the human microbiome are increasingly recognized as a key factor in autoimmune, metabolic, infectious and many other diseases. For millions of years, humans have co-evolved with this community of microbes, communicating in an ancient language that holds critical clues about how autoimmune and infectious diseases develop. This language is based on a system of signals that our resident microbes use to successfully colonize us, such as byproducts of bacterial metabolism and factors that bacteria use to adapt to human niches. Recent discoveries have shown that most of these signals do not lead to disease, rather, they promote our long-term survival. Vedanta Biosciences is developing an innovative class of therapies that modulate pathways of interaction between the human microbiome and the host immune system. Vedanta Biosciences was co-founded by PureTech and a group of world renowned experts in immunology and microbiology.

Code Bio was founded on the belief that more can be done for people living with debilitating genetic diseases. We are driven by the potential of our transformative technology to treat the untreatable and cure the incurable. Code Bio is developing highly targeted genetic medicines with its proprietary, novel, multivalent, synthetic DNA delivery platform, 3DNA®, which has been engineered to overcome many of the challenges inherent with the delivery of genetic medicines. 3DNA offers unparalleled tissue and cell targeting specificity, improved bioavailability, capability to deliver large genetic payloads, potential ability to re-dose, and a scalable, modular, reproducible manufacturing process. Our 3DNA delivery platform is poised to transform the field of genetic medicines, enabling targeted delivery of gene therapy, RNAi and other genetic modalities. Currently we are advancing an internal pipeline of genetic medicines focused on select diseases without a cure (Duchenne`s Muscular Dystrophy and Type 1 Diabetes), as well as establishing partnerships to take forward programs in both rare and prevalent diseases.
