What Talus Bio does
We have built a platform that enables drug discovery and development for previously undruggable genome regulators ("the regulome"). We accomplish this by moving drug discovery out of artificial systems where regulome proteins fail to function properly, and back into live human cells. Our technology combines innovations in automated cell processing, next-gen proteomics, and advanced data analytics to measure a drug's effect on the entire regulome in one experiment.

Discovering drugs that target the DNA regulome
We built a platform that discovers drugs targeting genome regulators that were previously considered undruggable. Instead of using artificial systems where these proteins don't behave normally, our technology profiles drug effects on the regulome directly in living human cells. We combine automated cell processing, next-gen proteomics, and data analytics to measure a drug's impact on the entire regulome in one experiment.
We live and work in Seattle, WA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Seattle is where our team and scientific partners are located. It gives us access to top proteomics and genomics expertise and facilities that are critical to building our platform.
