Epic Bio (legally Epicrispr Biotechnologies, Inc.) is a clinical-stage genetic medicines company in South San Francisco, California, founded in 2018 by Stanford CRISPR pioneer Stanley Qi, Ph.D. It develops epigenetic editing therapies that modulate gene expression without cutting DNA, built on its proprietary Gene Expression Modulation System (GEMS) platform — a combination of ultracompact DNA-binding proteins (CasMINI, CasONYX), tailored guide RNAs, and a large library of transcriptional and epigenomic modulators. Its lead program EPI-321 is in first-in-human clinical study for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), with preclinical programs in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The company is a therapeutics developer, not a software vendor: it publishes a corporate and scientific website but no developer program, public API, SDK, or machine-readable specification.
