Perception Biosystems

Perception Biosystems aimed to revolutionize gene therapy accessibility through advanced laboratory automation. The company's core objective was to expedite the clinical application of gene therapy by fundamentally redesigning its manufacturing and development workflows. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Perception Biosystems was developing a robotic laboratory designed to transform the traditionally large-scale facilities, extensive labor requirements, and complex regulatory hurdles of existing gene therapy production into streamlined, automated, and adaptable manufacturing systems driven by software. This innovative approach sought to produce gene therapies for human clinical trials with significantly improved speed and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional methods, potentially unlocking treatment options for numerous rare diseases previously deemed economically unviable.
