About KritRNA
Our name bridges ancient script and modern science. "कृ" (kr) from Devanagari represents action and creation, while its visual form mirrors segments of the biological transfer RNA—the molecular courier that translates genetic code into life.
The KritRNA Name & Logo Story
In Devanagari, "कृत्" (Krit) means 'engineered' and in biology, such modified tRNA that suppress nonsense mutations in rare diseases are called 'engineered tRNA'.
Script as Structure
The Devanagari character naturally resembles tRNA's iconic cloverleaf shape, connecting linguistic heritage with molecular architecture.
The Language of Life
Every culture has contributed to our understanding of genetics. We celebrate the universality of biological language—codons and characters alike carry meaning across boundaries.
- Curve echoes the molecular interactive parts of a tRNA
- Dot represents the amino acid cargo
- Blue represents its ability to correct the effects of mutation in rare diseases
Our Story
KritRNA was founded on the belief that every genetic message deserves to be read to completion. When premature termination codons (PTCs) interrupt the cellular translation process, they rob patients of functional proteins essential for life.
Our breakthrough approach uses AI-designed suppressor tRNAs to restore protein function, offering hope to millions of patients worldwide affected by nonsense mutations. By combining cutting-edge machine learning with deep biological understanding, we're creating a new class of genetic medicines.
India's genetic diversity is extraordinary, yet rare disease data remains fragmented and incomplete. We envision a secure, ethical, federated data infrastructure that empowers clinicians, researchers, and patients while protecting privacy and ensuring equitable benefit. Our Translation Small-World AI platform represents the convergence of systems biology, artificial intelligence, and precision medicine.
"A single wrong 'period' in the genetic sentence can silence an entire protein story."
Our Mission
Restore Function
By engineering suppressor tRNAs—molecules that can read through premature stop codons—we create a single modality capable of addressing dozens of genetic diseases
Global Impact
Address India's genetic diversity gap while building therapeutic solutions that can reach patients globally through federated data infrastructure
AI-Driven
Our proprietary design platform integrates genomic data, structural biology, and machine learning to generate and rank suppressor tRNA candidates
