We Build and Support Companies that Transform Patient Outcomes

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 in autoimmune diseases and oncology indications.

We built Aktis Oncology to realize the transformative potential of alpha radio-pharmaceuticals for patients with solid tumors.

Aktis is pioneering miniprotein actinium-conjugates to deliver breakthrough efficacy and enhanced safety compared to earlier generations of radiopharmaceuticals, while treating a broader set of cancer patients beyond prostate and neuroendocrine tumors.
