We built Orna Therapeutics to create a new class of coding RNA medicines that outperforms mRNA.

Orna’s circular RNA technology (oRNA) and best-in-class non-viral delivery are fundamentally changing the landscape of treatment modalities,* starting with replacing cell therapies in autoimmune diseases and oncology indications.

"We are proud to have created and built Orna based on groundbreaking research that came out of MIT. Orna is combining its proprietary circular RNA platform with industry leading delivery technology to create transformative medicines using the panCAR approach.”**
