About Us

We started Wayfinder to bring nature's cellular logic to biotech's most important applications. We use RNA design to engineer smart RNAs that sense and respond to molecules like chemicals and proteins. We are applying them to high-throughput screening for biomanufacturing and therapeutic applications. We are located in downtown San Francisco, working inside the bustling IndieBio co-working lab space.
