Chief Of Staff - @Brink Therapeutics

Brink Therapeutics

Brink Therapeutics is a venture-backed biotech company specializing in the development of cutting-edge gene therapy tools. We focus on site-specific recombinases, highly efficient enzymes that enable precise DNA modifications such as inserting, removing, or inverting DNA sequences, without causing double-strand breaks. These recombinases offer a safer, more precise alternative to existing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9, giving them the potential to revolutionize Cell and Gene Therapies and finally push them over the brink of mass accessibility.
