Cardea Bio completes planned launch of CRISPR QC

SAN DIEGO, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Cardea Bio, Inc. – the world’s only mass producer of biocompatible semiconductors – announced a significant milestone with the launch of CRISPR QC Inc. as a separate business using Cardea’s CRISPR-chip™ technology for a range of quality control services for CRISPR gene editing. This milestone is an important move for Cardea Bio on its mission to realizing real-world applications of their BPU™ (Biosignal Processing Unit) Platform.

After recently establishing dedicated lab facilities and office spaces, as well as completing the initial investor funding, CRISPR QC is now ready to offer analysis services for R&D groups in therapeutics, animal breeding, plant biology, and academics in need of advanced insights to their CRISPR efforts.

One of the challenges for successful CRISPR gene editing is a lack of understanding and standardization of processes around predicting and optimizing CRISPR assay outcomes. At CRISPR QC, we work with scientists to improve the quality of life for all. That’s why we’re excited to work with the Chief Scientific Officer of Cardea Bio, Dr. Kiana Aran, who recently received NIH funding to help set some of the US quality control standards for CRISPR therapies,” states Ross Bundy, President of CRISPR QC, and continues, “In addition to this, CRISPR QC provides previously unavailable data and insight into the CRISPR editing process, resulting in significant time-savings and first to market application opportunities for our customers, including CRISPR/Cas technology-driven solutions which are commercially available as of now.

With CRISPR QC going into business with valuable first-of-a-kind services in the growing CRISPR space, we can now showcase a distinct example of what our BPU Platform can enable our partners to do – products and applications otherwise not possible. That in turn drives growth opportunities and revenue for Cardea Bio, unlocking significant value for both CRISPR QC’s and Cardea’s stakeholders,” says Michael Heltzen, CEO at Cardea Bio, and adds, “I’m anticipating that CRISPR QC will get a number of near-term opportunities to help its customers bring transformative gene-editing insights and solutions to scientists and researchers working on CRISPR therapies, as well as other market changing applications.
