Exscientia is a global pharmatech company using patient-first artificial intelligence (AI) to discover better drugs, faster. Our mission is to encode, automate and transform every stage of the drug design and development process, by combining the latest AI techniques with experimental innovation, to enable the design of patient centric drug candidates with an improved probability of success. Our validated platform has delivered the first three AI-designed drugs to enter clinical trials and is the first AI system proven to improve clinical outcomes in oncology. We`ve significantly accelerated pre-clinical drug discovery, with 10x productivity improvement in delivering a drug candidate compared with industry standards. By actively applying AI to precision engineer medicines more rapidly and efficiently, we allow the best ideas of science to rapidly become the best medicines for patients.
Generate Biomedicines is the first drug generation company, pioneering a machine learning-powered generative biology platform with the ability to generate new drugs on demand across a wide range of biologic modalities. The platform can drastically improve the speed at which targets and therapeutics are identified and validated, the specificity of target engagement by generated proteins, and the cost of identifying and developing clinical candidates. The company`s platform represents a potentially fundamental shift in what`s possible in the field of therapeutic development, addressing key challenges of drug discovery and drastically expanding the available search space for novel biomedicines. Generate Biomedicines was founded by Flagship Pioneering after two years of foundational research in its Labs unit and launched in 2020.
Cogent Biosciences is a biotechnology company developing real solutions to treat genetically driven diseases. With a focus on rational drug discovery and development, we are leveraging validated biology to advance precision therapies designed to address the true underlying drivers of disease and provide real hope for patients. Cogent`s lead therapeutic candidate, PLX9486 (expected to be named CGT9486 in the future), is a precision kinase inhibitor designed to selectively and potently inhibit the KIT D816V mutation. This mutation is responsible for driving a rare and serious condition called Systemic Mastocytosis which can severely impact many different tissues and organs in the body. We are also studying PLX9486 to treat advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), which have a strong dependence on oncogenic KIT signaling.
NICO gives hope to patients with primary and secondary brain tumors, cysts and hemorrhagic strokes.
Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals is a Gaithersburg, MD-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
