ABOUT US

Uncommon Bio was built to have a maximum impact on areas of human health that require rapid innovation and intervention. We are a purpose, science and engineering-driven company dedicated to creating breakthrough technologies that will help address and push the boundaries of what’s possible – delivering innovations that benefit people and the planet.
We started pioneering the development of cultivated meat to solve some of the globe’s growing challenges in health, sustainability and animal welfare. We use RNA technology for our cultivated meat product, and we have developed very exciting technologies around our RNA platform. We are now ready to push boundaries and apply these technologies beyond cultivated meat. Our first area is pioneering nucleic acid delivery: we have already shown some exciting results in shelf life stability, costs and organ targeting. We also have some more areas in the cell therapy and disease modelling space where our cells have broken some record times of differentiation!
Our brilliant team are experts in their respective fields, drawn from around the world. We are passionate, curious, innovative and at the forefront of the groundbreaking work in this exciting and rapidly growing biotech sector.
