About us

Founded by pioneers in synthetic biology from leading institutions, Radar Therapeutics leverages the explosion in single-cell transcriptomic data, advances in our understanding of RNA-editing enzymes, and simple, elegant logic gates to make “smart” mRNAs. Our mRNAs can read the information a cell has to offer in real time, allowing us to reprogram the right cells, at the right time. 

Messenger RNA technology enables the rapid creation of new therapeutics. The technology is powerful because it can write functions into cells; however, it cannot currently read what cell type it is in before it does so. Our platform enables reading the cell state before writing a new function.

Precision mRNA Control for Therapeutics

Our RADAR platform enables precision therapeutics through targeted, timely, and controlled reading of the mRNA message in just the right cells, avoiding toxic side-effects in non-target cells

Safe
Scalable
Universal

Backed by expert minds

"Radar Therapeutics' platform will enable programmable, targeted RNA therapies, advancing a new class of safe, effective medicines for patients around the world."
