Unlike first generation gene editing tools based on CRISPR technology, this new one, prime editing, doesn’t make breaks in DNA’s double helix. Instead, it uses a guided search-and-replace mechanism – like a molecular word processor – to correct typos in our genetic code. And the big name investors are pouring in.
Just as recombinant DNA unlocked a new era of drug-making, siRNA is now unlocking an era where we don’t just supplement biology – we command it. This month’s recommendation is a company that is category defining in its leadership of the siRNA – and a blue-chip biotech stock that should surge ahead as the industry falls back.

This month, Erez Kalir focuses on a company that has developed a drug that promises to be a game-changing therapy for severe pulmonary conditions for which there is currently no treatment.
For those who have successfully ridden the MicroStrategy train – seeing huge gains on investments into Bitcoin – congratulations. For those who have not ridden that train, this issue of Biotech Frontiers will offer you a similar opportunity: a recommendation of a company that is now as little-known as MicroStrategy was back in 2020, with very real potential for similar upside.
A leader in the field of regenerative medicine, this company has developed treatment for injured civilians and soldiers in Ukraine, and for vascular victims of automobile accidents, shootings, and industrial mishaps.
