Brain-penetrant cancer therapies
We build AI-driven drug discovery software focused on engineering small molecules that penetrate the brain to treat cancers. Our product uses machine learning models to identify candidates that overcome challenges like crossing the blood-brain barrier and targeting difficult cancer pathways. This accelerates advanced therapeutic development for brain cancers.
We live in Cambridge, MA, and the company is based here.
Cambridge is a key biotech hub with access to research institutions and talent. It's critical for collaboration and hiring in therapeutics and AI applied to drug discovery.
