Precision epigenetic medicines
Moonwalk Biosciences is an early-stage therapeutics company co-founded by Dr. Feng Zhang and leading experts in cell state epigenetics including Alex Aravanis, the former CTO of Illumina. The company has developed a differentiated approach to mapping the epigenome of cellular states at the whole genome, single cell resolution level, as well as proprietary strategies for precise epigenetic engineering. The combination enables both a novel discovery platform and a path to developing therapeutics that include both epigenetic engineering and other traditional modalities.
