NARYA Genome Editing (NARYA GE) was founded by Dr Guy-Franck Richard, a molecular geneticist with more than 25 years of experience in genome editing. He has a PhD in molecular genetics, as well as an Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches.
He has been working at the Institut Pasteur for 25 years, as well as in Brandeis University (Waltham, USA) and Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, USA).
Guy-Franck Richard uses highly specific AI-optimized DNA endonucleases to precisely edit and modify genomes with high efficacy and specificity. These nucleases are used to shorten trinucleotide repeats expanded in Steinert disease and Huntington disease to non-pathological lengths.
Guy-Franck Richard is also a consultant in genomics and gene therapy and gives advanced courses in eukaryotic genomics.
