FinalDose develops programmable DNA therapeutics that target diseases at the level of their underlying genetic code. The company focuses on a DNA drug platform that uses engineered fusion proteins to scan cellular genomes for predefined diseased DNA sequences. When the therapeutic recognizes its programmed target, it undergoes a structural change
that activates a cellular kill switch to eliminate the diseased cell while sparing neighboring healthy tissue. This approach aims to address disease drivers that are considered undruggable by conventional protein-targeting methods. FinalDose initially applies its platform to cancers driven by complex mutations, using established human genetics knowledge to guide target selection and reduce research and validation cycles.
