Navega Therapeutics is a pre-clinical biotechnology company based in California, USA, focused on treating chronic pain through epigenome-editing technologies. By leveraging zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) and CRISPR-based epigenome editing, Navega has developed a patented, non-permanent gene therapy designed to be highly specific, long-lasting, and non-addictive. Their approach targets a naturally-occurring mutation associated with increased pain tolerance, offering a novel, gene-editing alternative to conventional pain management. Navega aims to provide a novel solution for chronic pain linked to rare diseases.
