Last week, CAMP4 Therapeutics announced the close of a $100 million Series B round , which will be used to advance their regulatory RNA (regRNA)-focused programs. According to Bumcrot, regRNAs are “RNAs that arise out of the non-coding genome”. Their platform identifies which regRNAs control the specific gene of interest.

CRISPR is notable for engineering living cells, allowing scientists to edit, turn off, delete, or replace genes in a cell’s genome. This technology has powerful implications for therapeutic uses, such as replacing mutated or disease-causing genes or increasing the activity of cancer-fighting cells.
