About Character Biosciences

Character Biosciences is a precision medicine company founded between 2018 and 2019, focusing on transforming drug development for progressive, polygenic diseases, particularly in ophthalmology.

Formerly known as Clover Therapeutics, the company utilizes an AI-powered platform that integrates genomics, clinical data, and machine learning to identify genetic and molecular drivers of disease progression. This approach aims to develop targeted therapies for patients with urgent unmet needs. Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, with additional operations in California and Brisbane, Character Biosciences operates a drug discovery platform that partners with over 150 ophthalmology clinics. The company is advancing its lead programs, CTX114 and CTX203, which target dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG). Both programs are in preclinical stages, aiming to deliver more precise and effective therapies for these conditions. Character Biosciences has raised at least $93 million in Series B funding to support its clinical trial advancements.
