Stoke Therapeutics is a biotechnology company that is pioneering a new way to treat the underlying causes of severe genetic diseases by precisely upregulating protein expression to restore target proteins to near normal levels. Stoke aims to develop the first precision medicine platform to target the underlying cause of a broad spectrum of genetic diseases in which the patient has one healthy copy of a gene and one mutated copy that fails to produce a protein essential to health. These diseases, in which loss of approximately 50 per cent of normal protein expression causes disease, are called autosomal dominant haploinsufficiency. Stoke was launched with investments by Apple Tree Partners. Stoke is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
