Science-Driven Innovation Since 2016

Helix Biosciences was founded by Dr. Nadia Kowalski and Dr. James Okafor, former researchers at the Broad Institute, with a mission to translate cutting-edge genomic discoveries into therapies that reach patients faster. Our Cambridge headquarters houses a 40,000 sq ft research facility with next-generation sequencing, high-throughput screening, and CRISPR gene editing capabilities.

With three clinical-stage programs and a robust preclinical pipeline, we're focused on rare genetic disorders, oncology, and autoimmune diseases where genomic insights can unlock transformative treatments. Our collaborative approach brings together computational biologists, medicinal chemists, and clinical scientists under one roof.
