We are Company Creators
We built Orna Therapeutics to create a new class of coding RNA medicines that outperforms mRNA.
Orna’s circular RNA technology (oRNA) and best-in-class non-viral delivery are fundamentally changing the landscape of treatment modalities,* starting with replacing cell therapies and improving vaccines.
“MPM BioImpact’s commitment to creating transformative medicines for patients has been evident since Orna’s inception. MPM BioImpact saw the potential for circular RNA to solve key challenges with existing cell therapies, and it is their vision that drew me to be part of this exciting effort.”**
