acquired Landmark Bio in 2025) - **Headquarters**: Carlsbad, California, United States (also operations in Watertown, MA and Bilbao, Spain) - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Brian Neel (CEO) and Michael Houston (Co-Founder & CSO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) for genetic medicines; biotechnology - **Target customers**: Biopharma companies developing mRNA therapies, gene editing, viral vectors, cell therapies (CAR-T, CAR-NK, iPSCs), vaccines, and emerging modalities - **Mission**: To advance genetic medicines and biologics from early development to market by replacing fragmented supply chains with an integrated, synthetic DNA-powered platform. ## Products & Services - **Synthetic DNA (oDNA)**: Proprietary enzymatic manufacturing of truly synthetic, plasmid-free DNA at RUO and GMP grades, delivered in 2 weeks (RUO) or 3-4 weeks (GMP) up to gram scale. - **Cell Therapies**: Autologous and allogeneic cell therapy development and manufacturing, including CAR-T, CAR-NK, iPSCs, MSCs, and organoids. - **Viral Vectors**: AAV and lentiviral vector production from research scale through GMP. - **mRNA and LNP**: In vitro transcription, formulation, and translational development. - **Emerging Modalities**: Support for extracellular vesicles, non-viral delivery platforms, and novel technologies. - **Integrated Services**: CMC strategy, regulatory support, process and formulation development, analytical development, GMP manufacturing, and fill/finish. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private) - **Key Metric**: Total funding undisclosed; backed by Oak HC/FT; acquired Landmark Bio in 2025 for an undisclosed sum. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Oak HC/FT (lead venture and growth equity firm) - **Growth Signals**: - Emerged from stealth in April 2025 with acquisition of Landmark Bio (~75 employees). - Combined headcount ~80 employees (as of early 2025), with LinkedIn showing +80% YoY growth. - Dual manufacturing sites in the US (Watertown, MA) and EU (Bilbao, Spain). - 2-week RUO synthetic DNA production timeline – significantly faster than industry standard. ## Competitive Advantages - **Integrated platform** that replaces fragmented supply chains – one vendor from synthetic DNA through GMP fill/finish. - **Proprietary enzymatic oDNA** eliminates plasmid dependency, reducing contamination risk and accelerating timelines. - **Multi-modality capability** (mRNA, viral vectors, cell therapies, emerging) from a single infrastructure. - **US and EU GMP manufacturing** enables global supply chain resilience. - **Flexible engagement models** from defined-scope projects to deep co-development partnerships. ## Strategic Focus - Build a portfolio of subsidiaries (starting with Landmark Bio) to create a single-source CDMO for complex genetic medicines. - Reduce project timelines and manufacturing costs for customers while maintaining quality. - Pursue additional strategic acquisitions in partnership with Oak HC/FT to expand capabilities and respond to market shifts (e.g., mRNA, gene editing). - Scale enzymatic synthetic DNA production as a foundational technology for all genetic medicine modalities. ## Why Work Here - **Mission-driven environment**: Directly contribute to bringing life-changing genetic therapies to patients faster. - **Rapid growth**: Company emerged from stealth in 2025 and is actively scaling – potential for career advancement. - **Geographic options**: Opportunities at the Carlsbad, CA headquarters, Watertown, MA (Landmark Bio site), and Bilbao, Spain. - **Cutting-edge technology** – work with synthetic DNA, mRNA, viral vectors, cell therapy – not just a traditional CDMO. - **Backed by top-tier investors** (Oak HC/FT) providing stability and long-term vision. - **Culture highlights**: Small, agile team with strong scientific leadership; collaborative approach with clients; emphasis on quality and innovation. - **Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but as a biotech CDMO, likely includes standard benefits, potential equity, and opportunities to work on groundbreaking therapies. ## Sources 1.
