Prime Medicine

Prime Medicine is pioneering true “search-and-replace” gene editing to address the root genetic causes of diseases, restore normal gene function, and potentially offer long-term treatment for patients. We utilize Prime Editing, a next-generation technology capable of “searching and replacing” to restore normal gene function almost anywhere in the genome. “Prime editing” locates the precise position in the genome for editing and replaces the faulty DNA segment with the correct DNA copy. A single “prime editor” can correct individual mutations found in patients, meaning it may be able to address over 90% of known disease-causing genetic mutations. We envision a world where this technology can cure, halt, and ultimately prevent genetic disorders, providing lifelong benefits to patients. Prime Medicine offers the opportunity to shape the future of gene editing and transform the way medicines treat diseases.
