Strand Therapeutics' CEO and Co-Founder Jake Becraft joins Erin Harris to discuss genetic regulation and how the company's programmable mRNA constructs combine genes for self-replication derived from RNA viruses with genetically programmed logic circuits that control the location, timing, and intensity of expression of therapeutic proteins within the patient’s body, enabling precise and controlled delivery. They also cover the role synthetic biology plays to genetically program mRNA to deliver therapies.
