£12.0M
Broken String Biosciences secures £12m Series A funding from Illumina Ventures and Mérieux Equity Partners to scale its DNA mapping platform.
The financing was co-led by Illumina Ventures and Mérieux Equity Partners to support the development and commercialisation of the company gene editing safety technology.
"Our vision is a future where cell and gene therapies are safer, more efficient, and affordable for patients. Operating at the intersection of biology, bioinformatics and data science, our INDUCE-seq platform offers an unbiased, end-to-end solution that expedites the measurement and assessment of off-target gene editing during therapeutic development. This provides essential information required to progress therapeutic programs that leverage gene editing and mitigate potential risks that can result in later-stage clinical failures. By developing a deployable PaaS offering, we have the opportunity to provide the cell and gene therapy community with this much-needed solution and achieve rapid market growth."
