Integra Therapeutics is a biotech company that is creating next-generation gene writing tools to boost the efficiency and safety of advanced therapies.
Advanced therapies are a pillar of the medicine of the future.
Our lead technology is FiCAT, a best-in-class platform geared towards resolving the current limitations on gene writing: size, precision and stability. It is based on research from the laboratory of Dr Marc Güell at Pompeu Fabra University.
We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers in biology, molecular biology and genetics, biomedical engineers, and business development and communications professionals who are passionate and committed to moving FiCAT technology forward, bringing it to patients who urgently need it. We also have the support of our investors and board of directors, who are industry leaders with strong track records in drug development.
