## About

Founded in 2020 by Dee Datta (CEO), and Si-ping Han (CTO), and based in California, US, Switch Therapeutics Inc. is a preclinical stage biotechnology platform that develops medicines aimed to treat diseases of the central nervous system. In March 2023, Switch Therapeutics Inc. raised an undisclosed amount of venture funding from a new investor Global Brain.

The company creates CASi (Conditionally Activated siRNAs), a novel proprietary platform that combines the beneficial traits of single and double-stranded RNAs in a single molecule to aid in the treatment of a variety of illnesses that affect the central nervous system and other organ systems.

The company intends to use the March 2023 funds to accelerate its expansion into other disease areas with pharmaceutical company partners.
