About Synlogic 

Synlogic is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing novel, oral, non-systemically absorbed biotherapeutics to transform the care of serious diseases in need of new treatment options. The Company’s late-stage pipeline is focused on rare metabolic diseases, led by labafenogene marselecobac (SYNB1934), currently being studied as a potential treatment for phenylketonuria (PKU) in Synpheny-3, a global, pivotal Phase 3 study. Additional product candidates address diseases including homocystinuria (HCU), enteric hyperoxaluria, gout, and cystinuria. This pipeline is fueled by the Synthetic Biotic platform, which applies precision genetic engineering to well-characterized probiotics. This enables Synlogic to create GI-restricted, oral medicines designed to consume or modify disease-specific metabolites – an approach well suited for PKU and HCU, both inborn errors of metabolism, as well as other disorders in which the disease–specific metabolites transit through the GI tract, providing validated targets for these Synthetic Biotics. Research activities include a partnership with Roche focused on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and a collaboration with Ginkgo Bioworks in synthetic biology, which has contributed to two pipeline programs to date.

About SYBX

at synlogic, we are dedicated to bringing innovative medicines to patients by driving the convergence of two revolutionary fields: synthetic biology and the microbiome. using our synthetic biotics platform, we are engineering probiotic bacteria to perform specific therapeutic functions with established links to disease. we can deliver these synthetic biotics™ orally, where they act from the gut microbiome to correct missing or dysfunctional metabolic activities throughout the body. we also aim to deliver synthetic biotics at the site of disease in cases where local activity is critical, as in stimulation of immune effectors to combat certain tumors. we can rapidly translate this groundbreaking science and technology into medicines that have the potential to change the lives of patients. our lead programs target patients with rare genetic metabolic diseases, including urea cycle disorders (ucd) and phenylketonuria (pku). we are also hard at work on synthetic biotics™ to address more pre
