Metagenomi is a precision genetic medicines company committed to developing curative therapeutics for patients using our proprietary, comprehensive metagenomics-derived genome editing toolbox. We believe tools with capa­bil­i­ties that go beyond the cur­rent tech­nol­o­gy land­scape will be required in order to reach the full ther­a­peu­tic poten­tial of genome edit­ing. By har­ness­ing the pow­er of metage­nomics, the study of genomes recov­ered from uncul­ti­vat­ed organ­isms in the nat­ur­al envi­ron­ment, we are dis­cov­er­ing and devel­op­ing a suite of nov­el genome edit­ing tools with the poten­tial to make any desired ther­a­peu­tic gene edit, any­where in the human genome.

Rani Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech company that has developed a platform technology to enable oral delivery of biologic drugs. Millions of patients with chronic conditions require biologic drugs, the vast majority of which must be injected. We have developed the RaniPill™ technology to replace subcutaneous or IV injections of biologics with an oral pill. The RaniPill™ capsule is designed to deliver an injection to the intestinal wall, where there are no sharp pain receptors, and has achieved bioavailability similar to subcutaneous injections. We believe oral versions of biologics will have the potential to transform medicine and improve outcomes for the millions of patients who currently rely on chronic self-injections.
