Company Overview

Precision BioSciences is a clinical‐stage genome editing company that leverages its proprietary ARCUS platform to develop targeted gene therapies. ARCUS, an engineered nuclease derived from a naturally occurring enzyme, enables precise DNA modifications for both in vivo and ex vivo applications. The company’s pipeline spans genetic diseases—including rare monogenic disorders—and immuno‐oncology, where it is advancing allogeneic cell therapy candidates designed to address hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

Founded in 2006 as a spin‐out from research at the University of North Carolina, Precision BioSciences is headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, with additional research and manufacturing capabilities located in the Research Triangle Park area. The company completed a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2021 and began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker DTIL. Over its history, Precision BioSciences has focused on optimizing ARCUS for high specificity, efficiency and manufacturability, laying the groundwork for scalable gene editing solutions.

Precision BioSciences is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Matt Kane, who has steered the company’s scientific and strategic initiatives since joining in 2014. Under his leadership, the company has established collaborations with academic institutions and biopharmaceutical partners to advance preclinical studies and clinical trials. With a focus on innovation and translational research, Precision BioSciences aims to bring next‐generation gene therapies from discovery through to regulatory approval and commercialization.
