Character Biosciences is a biotechnology research company based in San Francisco, California, with a workforce of 51 to 200 employees. It focuses on precision medicine to transform drug development for progressive, polygenic diseases, starting with ophthalmology, and aims to identify genetic and molecular drivers of disease progression to develop targeted therapies for patients who urgently need them. The company has built a resource for age-related eye diseases by partnering with more than 150 ophthalmology clinics to integrate genetics with longitudinal clinical and imaging data, enabling deep phenotyping of AMD into genetically defined subtypes to unlock therapeutic targets and improve trial patient selection. Its AI-powered platform combines genomics, multi-modal data, and machine learning to discover and develop therapies that are more precise and effective, with lead programs CTX114 and CTX203 advancing toward clinical trials to slow or prevent vision loss in AMD patients.
