Every day, more than 200 researchers and staff come to work at Intellia. We are motivated by our mission to develop curative genome editing treatments for people living with severe diseases.

Many of us pursuing work in the biotechnology industry are inspired by someone in our community who is living with a disease or the loss of a loved one. We know that rare and genetic diseases not only affect the people living with the often-debilitating and life-threatening symptoms, but also significantly impact their families, friends and caregivers.

Since the emergence of the breakthrough genome editing technology, CRISPR / Cas9, the science has moved fast in only a few years. Our researchers have worked tirelessly to harness this tool for human therapeutic use. We at Intellia are humbled to have a hand in making what I believe to be medical history. As a leader in this space, we take this responsibility to patients seriously, as we advance relentlessly toward clinical trials.

I invite you to learn more about this revolutionary technology and how Intellia intends to develop one-time curative treatments to transform lives.

Almost All Diseases Have a Genetic Component

THE HUMAN GENOMEThe complete set of human genes

FULLY MAPPED1 IN

2003

The Human Genome Project, started in 1990, paved the way for targeted gene editing. Completed in 2003, this mega project led to the identification of approximately 3 billion base pairs in the human genetic instruction set,4 which has given us the ability to seek out the genetic roots of disease while developing treatments.

A change in DNA sequence away from the normal sequence can cause a genetic disorder, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Why Does CRISPR / Cas9 Have So Much Potential to be Used for Medicine?

• Potential one-time curative treatment

• Highly targeted − the ultimate personalized medicine

• Ability to target multiple DNA sites simultaneously

• Potential to work on monogenic or polygenic disorders*

KNOCKOUT REPAIR INSERTInactivation / deletion of

disease-causing DNA sequence

*Monogenic disorders are caused by a mutation in one gene. Polygenic disorders are associated with mutations in more than one gene.

Advancing Toward the Clinic

Our TimelineWe plan to submit our first Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Transthyretin Amyloidosis to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in mid-2020 to begin clinical trials.

Our MotivationConventional medicines treat the symptoms instead of the genetic cause of severe and life-threatening diseases, meaning that patients must take these therapies throughout their lives. We envision developing treatments that target the cause of diseases and can cure patients.

Our Goal Intellia is revolutionizing medicine by harnessing the power of genome editing. We are developing potential one-and-done curative genome editing therapies for people living with severe and life-threatening conditions, including cancers and genetic disorders.
