Verve Therapeutics develops single-course gene editing medicines for cardiovascular disease, aiming to permanently lower LDL cholesterol with one treatment.
Verve Therapeutics is a clinical-stage genetic medicines company founded in 2018 by Andrew Bellinger and Sekar Kathiresan, focused exclusively on using base editing to treat cardiovascular disease. The company is developing one-time treatments that permanently lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides by editing genes in liver cells that regulate lipid metabolism, including PCSK9 and ANGPTL3. Verve's approach targets the root cause of common cardiovascular disease rather than requiring lifelong daily medication, with the goal of a single infusion delivering durable benefit. The lead program VERVE-101 targets PCSK9 in liver cells and has entered Phase 1b clinical trials, with early data showing substantial and durable LDL reductions in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Verve is publicly traded on Nasdaq and has established partnerships with Vertex Pharmaceuticals to advance the cardiovascular base editing pipeline. The company represents a fundamentally new approach to preventing heart attacks and strokes at the genetic level.
Microbiotica raised $105M Series C in 2025 for its gut microbiome platform linking bacterial strains to disease, enabling live biotherapeutic products for cancer immunotherapy and IBD.
Microbiotica applies genomics and machine learning to map the gut microbiome's causal role in disease, then develops live biotherapeutic products (LBPs) targeting the specific bacterial strains responsible. The company's Reference Microbiome database — built from thousands of patient samples — is the world's most comprehensive catalog of gut bacteria linked to disease outcomes, providing a systematic foundation for microbiome drug discovery.
