Welcome aboard,
explorer.
Curetopia invites you on an odyssey of discovery as we illuminate the dark matter of the human genome and attempt to eradicate rare genetic diseases for all humankind.
1 in 10 people on Earth are suffering from a rare disease.
95% of the 10,000+ rare diseases we know of have no treatment option, let alone a cure. But for the first time in history, scientific advancements and talent are no longer the limiting reagents. Lack of access to sustainable funding and misaligned market incentives are holding back progress.
It’s time to leave this system behind.
An intrepid voyage awaits...
Join our mission to cure every rare disease on the planet. We’ll stop at nothing to help patient communities no matter how small - boldly venturing wherever the pursuit of life-changing breakthroughs in biology may take us.
Curetopia is a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) focused on eradicating rare diseases. Our organizational design enables onchain governance of rare disease research by members of patient communities and their allies.
If you’re a part of a rare disease community, a family member, or a scientist looking for funding, we’d love you to connect with us by submitting a project proposal. You can also join our Telegram channel, or follow us on X to get mission updates.
Yeast-powered drug repurposing for AARS2
Aubrie is impacted by a rare genetic condition called progressive leukoencephalopathy — a mitochondrial disease caused by mutations in a gene called AARS2. Curetopia is using yeast to rapidly test 8500 repurposable drugs and over-the-counter compounds in a race to find a treatment that could change Aubrie's life, and the lives of other rare kiddos like her.".
Following the rare disease wormhole
Cumulatively, rare diseases are a 2-trillion-dollar opportunity, equal to the size of the top 10 Pharma market caps combined. But TradBio incumbents are too big, too capital inefficient and too slow to address the thousands of rare diseases that need cures.Curetopia’s drug repurposing approach enables us to meet the rare disease long tail with exponential scalability and sets the stage for next-gen designer drugs. We’re ready to follow the rare disease wormhole wherever it takes us.

Join the mission
Community medicines are within reach. Science, talent and desire are no longer limiting. What's needed is access to liquid capital and ways for communities of patients and allies to come together and control their medical destiny.
