Company
Serna Bio
Genetic Medicine with Small Molecules
We develop small molecules that modulate RNA function, targeting diseases that other treatment methods can't address. Our product enables new therapeutic approaches by working at the RNA level, which is traditionally difficult to drug with small molecules.
We live in Ontario, California, with some team members working remotely. Post-YC, the company will remain based in Ontario, CA, with remote operations.
Ontario, CA is our base because that's where Rabia and most of our team operate. Maintaining local roots while supporting remote work suits our biotech and drug discovery focus.
