We’re Leading the Genetic Medicine Revolution
Strand is a clinical-stage, Boston-based biotechnology company leading the genetic medicine revolution. We have taken complex mRNA medicines from design to production to patients.

We were founded by biological engineers at MIT who created the first mRNA programming language.
Our innovative approach to mRNA design and manufacturing has produced a pipeline of next gen therapeutics for cancers and autoimmune disease.
This is just the beginning. Our interdisciplinary team is working to develop new delivery systems for tissues across the body, so millions of patients can benefit from genetic medicines.
