Transine Therapeutics Ltd. is an RNA platform company based in Cambridge, UK. The British company is developing a novel class of therapeutic RNAs called SINEUPs, which can upregulate protein expression with a superior level of control and specificity across an unprecedented range of diseases and applications. The company's proprietary technology allows them to address diseases that have been beyond the reach of small molecules, conventional biologics, or gene therapies. The SINEUP platform boosts the expression of almost any chosen target protein by binding precisely to the mRNA that encodes it and enhancing its translation. This technology massively extends the druggable proteome and represents an entirely new mechanism of action, ideally suited to address currently hard-to-treat diseases. The company was founded in 2018 by Stefano Gustincich and Piero Carninci. Jan Thirkettle has been the CEO of the company since 2021.
