The company completed its initial public offering in October 2017, trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol FDMT, and has used the proceeds to advance its clinical and preclinical programs.

The company is led by President and Chief Executive Officer John J. Falcon, whose leadership team comprises experienced professionals in gene therapy development, regulatory affairs and commercial strategy.
