4DMT is a clinical-stage leader in the development of precision-guided AAV gene medicines based on directed evolution.

4DMT is harnessing the power of directed evolution to unlock the full potential of gene therapy for rare and large market diseases in lysosomal storage diseases, ophthalmology, neuromuscular diseases, and cystic fibrosis.

4DMT was founded in 2013 by David Kirn, David Schaffer, Theresa Janke and Melissa Kotterman. The company is headquartered in Emeryville, California.
