List of Gene Editing/CRISPR Companies in Israel - 3

ART BioScience was founded in December 2015 by Mr. Oren Ozeri and Mr. Alon Hazan, fathers of two children diagnosed with Duchenne. After co-founding the Israeli Duchenne Parent Association and increased involvement in following current research, Alon and Oren swore to do everything possible to save the lives of their children and dedicated their time and resources to trying to find a cure for the disease. The result of their intensive research and involvement in the field led them to the decision to establish ART, a company based on novel messenger RNA (mRNA) technologies for the development of new therapeutics that can potentially change the course of the disease. ​We are developing Dystrophin modified mRNA encapsulated in LNP (Lipid Nanoparticles) proprietary delivery system as: 1.) Protein Replacement Therapy 2.) CRISPR Cas9 mRNA as Gene Editing Therapy

Evogene (Nasdaq: EVGN, TASE: EVGN) is a computational biology company aiming to revolutionize the development of life-science based products by utilizing cutting edge technologies to increase probability of success while reducing development time and cost. Evogene established three unique technological engines – MicroBoost AI, ChemPass AI and GeneRator AI – leveraging Big Data and Artificial Intelligence and incorporating deep multidisciplinary understanding in life sciences. Each technological engine is focused on the discovery and development of products based on one of the following core components: microbes (MicroBoost AI), small molecules (ChemPass AI), and genetic elements (GeneRator AI). Evogene uses its technological engines to develop products through subsidiaries and with strategic partners. Currently, Evogene's main subsidiaries utilize the technological engines to develop human microbiome-based therapeutics by Biomica Ltd., ag-chemicals by AgPlenus Ltd. and ag-biologicals by Lavie Bio Ltd.
