Charting a new course

Sail Biomedicines was formed in October 2023, uniting first-in-category technologies from across the Flagship Pioneering ecosystem, and bringing more than eight years of combined data and multi-product platform-building to Sail.

This included the first platform to leverage a chemical code of Natural NanoParticles (NNPs) that are designed to enable directed and repeatable deployment of RNA to cells and tissues of choice; eRNA™, a new class of synthetic, translatable, and stable RNA that can be programmed for durable expression of proteins inside the body; and proprietary generative AI technologies that are helping to supercharge Sail’s efforts.
