Changing What’s Possible with Cell and Gene Therapies

RARECast

Genome editing technologies are rapidly evolving, but existing approaches have limited capabilities. Tome Biosciences, which emerged from stealth in December 2023, said its programmable genomic integration technology enables the insertion of any genetic sequence of any size at any location in the genome with precision. The technology overcomes barriers in existing approaches and can enable the development of a single therapy for a monogenic disease across a wide range of variants. We spoke to Rahul Kakkar, president and CEO of Tome, about the company’s genome editing technology, how it works, and its potential to change what is possible with gene and cell therapies.
