Notes

Intellia Therapeutics is a leading gene editing company focused on developing CRISPR/Cas9-based therapeutics for serious genetic diseases. Founded in 2014 by CRISPR pioneer Jennifer Doudna and others, Intellia has emerged as one of the leading clinical-stage CRISPR therapy companies.

The company develops both in vivo (direct delivery to patients) and ex vivo (edited cells returned to patients) approaches. Intellia's lead program NTLA-2001 for transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) achieved groundbreaking clinical results, demonstrating that CRISPR gene editing can work safely and effectively directly in patients.

Intellia went public on NASDAQ (ticker: NTLA) in 2016 and has established partnerships with Regeneron and Novartis to advance its pipeline.
