Welcoming Metagenomi, Inc., to EmeryStation Research Campus. |
|
“We are delighted to welcome Metagenomi, Inc., to EmeryStation West and back to the EmeryStation Research Campus,” says Geoffrey B. Sears, Wareham partner.
Founded by CEO Brian C. Thomas, a pioneer in the field of metagenomics, Metagenomi is building the largest collection of next-generation gene-editing systems to enable novel genetic medicines. Metagenomi’s wholly-owned pipeline and partnered programs leverage these technologies, with the goal of creating potential cures for a broad array of rare and genetic diseases.
“Metagenomi opened its first office space in Emeryville back in 2019 with 22 employees. As we continue to scale and expand our operations, we are now a team of 170, rapidly growing our gene-editing toolbox and therapeutic development. Emeryville provides us with the opportunities and physical space that facilitates our ever-expanding research and development,” says Dr. Thomas. “We are happy to be working with Wareham once again and look forward to being in close proximity to other life science and research companies located here.”
