Ride Therapeutics

Cambridge, England, United Kingdom

Cambridge biotechnology company developing AI-designed, non-viral delivery carriers for genetic medicines. Its Molecular Logistics platform combines high-throughput nanoparticle engineering and in-vivo screening with a generative model trained on biodistribution measurements. The company reports delivery hits across multiple tissues, including brain and lung; its cystic fibrosis delivery program remains preclinical. Ride emerged from Harvard and Cambridge research, with a UK entity incorporated in 2022 and a public launch in 2023 backed by $8 million in seed funding. In September 2026 the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced a commitment of up to $7.3 million for lung delivery development. That conditional commitment is distinct from seed cash already raised.
