Tessera Therapeutics develops gene writing technology to modify DNA sequences within human cells for therapeutic use. The company focuses on Gene Writing, a platform that enables the insertion, deletion, or replacement of genetic material without relying on traditional gene editing approaches. Its work involves studying mobile genetic elements and
engineering them into tools that can rewrite sections of the genome. Tessera Therapeutics applies this technology to research programs targeting genetic diseases by aiming to correct underlying mutations at their source. The company also conducts preclinical studies to evaluate the safety, delivery, and durability of its gene writing methods.
