Epigenetic modifications, or reversible modifications on top of #DNA or its scaffolding, control the winding of DNA’s 3D loops without altering underlying sequences. Our OMEGA platform leverages our understanding of genomic architecture to design therapeutic candidates that act pre-transcriptionally to control gene expression.

Pioneering the first systematic approach to using mRNA as a new class of programmable epigenomic medicines.
About us
Omega Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the first systematic approach of using mRNA as programmable epigenomic medicines. Our OMEGA platform harnesses the power of epigenetics, the mechanism that controls gene expression and every aspect of an organism's life from cell genesis, growth and differentiation to cell death. The OMEGA platform enables control of fundamental epigenetic processes to correct the root cause of disease by returning aberrant gene expression to a normal range without altering native nucleic acid sequences. Omega’s engineered, modular, and programmable mRNA medicines, Omega Epigenomic Controllers™, target specific intervention points amongst the thousands of mapped and validated novel DNA-sequence-based epigenomic loci to durably tune single or multiple genes to treat and cure disease through unprecedented precision epigenomic control. Omega has a broad pipeline of development candidates spanning a range of disease areas, including oncology, regenerative medicine, multigenic diseases including immunology, and select monogenic diseases.

Our goal was to create a platform that can precisely target and control gene expression, and we did just that. The OMEGA platform has the potential to address a wide range of diseases, including some for which there are currently no disease-modifying treatments available. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3XMBdCx

Did you know that by 2030, one in two U.S. adults will live with #obesity, increasing the risk of cardiometabolic disease? Currently available treatments are focused on managing symptoms, which is why we’re exploring the potential of managing obesity through #PrecisionEpigenomicControl with Novo Nordisk. We aim to modulate genes linked to metabolism in a precise way. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4cgF53K
