  Aerska is a biotechnology company developing RNA interference (RNAi) medicines

  and silence disease-causing genes in the CNS. Founded in 2025 by Jack O'Meara,
  Stuart Milstein, and Dave Hardwicke, Aerska is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland
  with research operations in London. It emerged from stealth in 2026 having

  backing from Speedinvest and Backed. Aerska is a pre-clinical drug-discovery
  company and does not currently publish a public developer API or platform.
