    LogicBio Therapeutics is a gene-therapy company with a mission to develop cures for early-onset life-threatening diseases. The company’s GeneRide technology hitches a therapeutic transgene to a native promoter without disrupting its normal function in the host genome, enabling permanent expression of a functional version of a missing or faulty gene. Thus − with just a single treatment early in a child’s life – LogicBio can potentially deliver a life-long cure for a devastating disease.
