Where synthetic biology meets RNA therapeutics
About us
Strand was founded by biological engineers working together at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Building on the idea of creating smart therapies capable of making sophisticated decisions, they sought to apply this concept to the emerging field of mRNA therapeutics. This area was previously untapped by traditional synthetic biology, leading us to build our very own mRNA programming language, creating the world’s first platform for mRNA smart therapies. Strand’s mRNA programming technology promises to make mRNA therapies safer and more effective by programming the location, timing, and intensity of therapeutic protein expression inside a patient’s body via mRNA-encoded logic circuits. These circuits have the ability to implement cell-type specific expressions by sensing and classifying the unique mRNA expression signatures of cells and control the dosage of protein expression through responses to exogenously administered small molecules.

Today is an exciting day of firsts for Strand Therapeutics. We are proud to announce the dosing of our first patient with STX-001 in our first Phase 1 trial for the treatment of cancer patients with solid tumors. STX-001 represents the first-ever programmable mRNA therapy to enter clinical trials. STX-001 is an investigational multi-mechanistic, synthetic self-replicating mRNA technology that expresses an IL-12 cytokine for an extended duration, directly into the tumor microenvironment. Join us at ASCO for more information on the trial design: Presentation Date/Time: 6/1/2024 9:00AM-12:00PM CDT Title: A phase I trial of intratumoral STX-001: A novel self-replicating mRNA expressing IL-12 alone or with pembrolizumab in advanced solid tumors. Session: Developmental Therapeutics -- Immunotherapy Location: McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois, Hall A Poster Board Number: 161b Permanent Abstract Number: TPS2696 Read our press release: https://lnkd.in/g-j9vq6v #Programmable #mRNA #Oncology #ClinicalTrials #FirstPatientDosed #ASCO24 #ASCO2024

Find out how scientists at Strand Therapeutics are using Benchling to shorten process development cycles — and build curative mRNA therapeutics — by harnessing data at scale. “As a PD scientist, if we have a more holistic view of our historical data, we can create more efficient plans for optimization strategies,” says Mae Kingsbury. https://lnkd.in/eyQHz6Pe #BuiltOnBenchling
