About Us

We build the medicines we wish existed

CPTx is a genetic medicines company redefining how we treat disease using immune-silent, redosable ssDNA as the foundation for safe, durable in vivo therapies.

Our lead program is a new kind of in vivo CAR-T cell therapy using immune-silent ssDNA delivered with LNPs, enabling repeat dosing, and controllable long lasting effects. Through alliances with innovative companies, we are also collaborating to develop novel genetic medicines. And CPTx is more than a pipeline or platform. Through gxstrands, our internal CDMO, we manufacture the industry’s most advanced ssDNA constructs, enabling partnerships and platforms that reach beyond our own products.

A story of progress

Our mission is to make complex genetic medicines safe, scalable, and accessible, starting with in vivo CAR-T.

We believe in a world where cell and gene therapies do not require a hospital bed or a million-dollar price tag. Our science is built to go over barriers and raise standards.

How we work

  • Platform-enabled: We design novel delivery and expression technologies as the foundation for our therapies.
  • Pipeline-focused: We translate proprietary science into differentiated therapeutic candidates, advancing rapidly toward the clinic.
  • End-to-end control: We integrate molecular engineering with in-house manufacturing to accelerate development timelines.
  • Strategic collaboration: We partner with biopharma leaders who share our commitment to precision, speed, and impact.

Pipeline, platform, and production 
under one roof.

CPTx unites world-class ssDNA engineering, seasoned drug developers, and manufacturing to bring innovative genetic medicines from the laboratory to the clinic.

A scientific foundation

We are scientists, engineers, and builders who have spent our careers turning synthetic biology into real medicine. We have launched products, scaled biomanufacturing, and led platform development from seed to clinic.

We set out in 2021 to translate more than 15 years of foundational research into ssDNA engineering, programming and manufacturing into a company pioneering the development of novel genetic medicines. With headquarters, labs, and manufacturing in Munich, Germany, and an office in South San Francisco, California, we are leading the field of single-stranded DNA engineering, synthesis, and therapeutics development, built on a deep body of peer-reviewed research and robust intellectual property and know-how.
