At Maze, we envision a world where genetic insights inspire new medicines. We will navigate the breadth of genetic information available to us to understand how genetic modifiers can provide protection against severe diseases.
By bringing together human genetics and functional genomics into a platform driven by scientific pioneers and experienced company builders, we will develop new medicines that change the course of diseases.
