Inscripta

Groundbreaking CRISPR gene editing technology developed in the laboratory of Ryan Gill  (frm. CU Boulder Chemical and Biological Engineering) led to the formation of genome engineering company Muse Biotech in 2015.  Muse later became Inscripta, which raised over $400 million in venture capital funding. 

Inscripta merged with Manus Bio in 2025 to create a leading company in industrial biotechnology. Visit the Manus Bio Website
