Overview

Lexeo Therapeutics is a New York City-based, clinical stage genetic medicine company dedicated to transforming healthcare by applying pioneering science to fundamentally change how genetically defined cardiovascular diseases and APOE4-associated Alzheimer’s disease are treated. Using a stepwise development approach, Lexeo is leveraging early proof-of-concept functional and biomarker data to advance a pipeline of cardiovascular and APOE4-associated Alzheimer’s disease programs.

Lexeo Therapeutics's Mission

Our mission is to transform healthcare by pushing boundaries in developing meaningful genetic medicines for diseases, regardless of prevalence. By taking aim at the underlying genetic cause of the devastating diseases we target, Lexeo seeks to create substantial positive impact and reduce the overwhelming burdens placed on people receiving treatment, their caregivers, and healthcare systems.
