Our take
Orbital Therapeutics is building a first-of-its-kind RNA platform that is set to expand the applicability of RNA-based medicines across a range of human diseases, next-generation vaccines, immunomodulation, and protein replacement. Operating at the intersection of RNA technology delivery methods, data science, and automation, the company is well set to disrupt the industry with its innovative tech.
The vast potential of RNA-based therapeutics has the ability to alter the future of medicine and how diseases are treated, however, there are various barriers that keep companies from being able to deliver on the opportunities afforded by RNA medicines. Orbital was founded to provide such companies with the know-how and technological and biological insights needed to reach the full potential of RBA-based medicines.
The company has raised significant capital, recently led by ARCH Venture Partners, to advance its portfolio of programmable RNA to expand overall RNA -based applications. With a platform capable of changing how diseases are treated around the globe, Orbital is well set to see growth.
