Beam Therapeutics develops precision genetic medicines using base editing technology that makes single-letter DNA changes without cutting the double helix.
Beam Therapeutics is a genetic medicines company founded in 2017 by base editing pioneers David Liu, J. Keith Joung, and Feng Zhang, having raised over $600M and gone public on Nasdaq. The company is built around base editing, a technology that makes precise single nucleotide changes in DNA without creating double-strand breaks, reducing the risk of unintended insertions or deletions compared to traditional CRISPR. Beam is developing a portfolio of base editing medicines targeting blood disorders, liver diseases, and immuno-oncology, including sickle cell disease, beta-thalassemia, and various cancers. The company also employs prime editing, a newer and even more precise gene editing modality for more complex genetic changes. Beam's pipeline includes both in vivo therapies delivered directly into the body and ex vivo cell therapy approaches where patient cells are edited outside the body and reinfused. As a clinical-stage company, Beam has programs in IND-enabling and Phase 1 trials and represents one of the most advanced next-generation gene editing platforms in development.
Signed $2.1B Novo Nordisk collaboration (Feb 2026). Platform enables oral delivery of proteins and peptides (historically injection-only). MIT Langer lab spinout.
Vivtex is an MIT Langer Laboratory spinout that has developed a drug delivery platform enabling oral administration of biologics — proteins, peptides, and other large molecules — that have historically required injection because they are degraded by stomach acid and too large to absorb through the intestinal wall. In February 2026, Vivtex signed a $2.1 billion collaboration agreement with Novo Nordisk for the development of oral formulations of biologic drugs in obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease.
