About Synlogic
Synlogic is pioneering the development of a novel class of
living medicines, Synthetic BioticTM medicines, based on
its proprietary drug development platform. Synlogic leverages the
tools and principles of synthetic biology to genetically engineer
beneficial microbes to perform or deliver critical functions
missing or damaged due to disease. When delivered orally, Synthetic
Biotic medicines are designed to function in the gut to compensate
for the dysfunctional metabolic pathway and have a systemic effect,
with the potential to significantly improve symptoms of disease for
affected patients. The Company's lead program in this area,
SYNB1618, targets PKU. In addition, the Company is leveraging the
broad potential of its platform to create Synthetic Biotic
medicines for the treatment of more common diseases, including
inflammatory and immune disorders, and cancer. Synlogic's first
immuno-oncology program, SYNB1891, is in clinical development for
the treatment of solid tumors and lymphoma. For more
