About Specific Biologics

Founded in 2017 in Toronto, Canada, Specific Biologics Inc. develops advanced gene editing solutions utilizing its Dualase platform.Specific Biologics Inc. (SBI) specializes in developing innovative gene editing technologies, with a core focus on its proprietary platform known as Dualase. This technology employs a dual-cleaving nuclease that cuts DNA at two sites, generating non-compatible ends intended to improve the precision of genetic modifications. By leveraging the cell's natural DNA repair mechanisms, Dualase facilitates either defined length deletions or enhanced repair efficiency, allowing SBI to target genetic diseases previously deemed untreatable. The end users of this technology include researchers and clinicians in academic and industrial settings, with potential applications across a broad range of genetic disorders.Specific Biologics generates revenue through strategic partnerships and collaborations rather than direct consumer sales. The company engages with biotech firms, research institutions, and healthcare providers to license its gene editing technology, particularly the Dualase platform. These transactions take the form of licensing agreements, where clients pay fees for access to the technology, potentially structured as ongoing royalties based on the success of clinical applications.In October 2023, Specific Biologics Inc. SBI is also planning to expand into North American and European markets, focusing on healthcare institutions and providers to enhance its reach.
