mRNA has come a long way since its first use in preclinical experiments in the 1980s. Major advances in capping, delivery, manufacturing, and non-natural nucleosides enabled the creation of mRNA vaccines that turned the tide of the COVID pandemic.
These solutions, while game-changing, have all focused on engineering the chemistry and delivery of mRNA. For us at ExcepGen, this is only one side of the coin. For mRNA to reach its full potential, the cellular response to mRNA must also be addressed.
ExcepGen is the first company to engineer how cells interact with mRNA. Our platform allows us to alter the way that cells respond to therapeutic mRNA by dampening cellular pathways that are undesirable and boosting those that are helpful.
