Boston, United States Weaver Biosciences Full time

Weaver Biosciences is pioneering novel small-molecule therapies that drive

programmable, sequence-specific edits to the epigenome to treat diseases with broad

impact. Our therapeutics platform is based on small molecule epigenome editors

(Epitors) that are readily programmed to bind specific DNA sequences and recruit

epigenetic regulators (e.g. histone acetyltransferase, DNA methyltransferase) locally to

drive therapeutically-relevant epigenetic changes at defined sites via induced proximity.

The platform can yield a suite of Epitors that either upregulate healthy genes/reactivate

silenced genes (ON-Epitors) or silence disease-causing genes (OFF-Epitors). The

small-molecule properties (broad biodistribution, scalability) and DNA sequence

selectivity together make a powerful combination that has the potential to vastly expand

the capability & utility of epigenome editing, which is currently limited by delivery issues

encountered by existing gene therapy-based approaches. This unlocks epigenome

editing as a therapeutic strategy for many conditions in oncology, immunology,

metabolic diseases, and genetic diseases. Weaver was founded by Longwood Fund

with leading academic investigators and backed by a top-tier VC syndicate.

of interest.

 Communication of Science: Lead efforts to communicate Weaver’s therapeutic
