Forcyte Biotechnologies의 사업 내용

In a nutshell: many diseases are caused by how much your cells squeeze (asthma, fibrosis, others). We discover drugs that control how much cells squeeze, with ease, to treat disease. We use patented bioMEMS technology to turn cell strength (cells' ability to pull/ squeeze) into a quantifiable metric in drug discovery, to help find better drugs for mechanical diseases. We screen 100,000s of drugs against numerous contractile human cell types to comprehensively map human mechanobiology (the "contractome") and identify promising drug development starting points to deliver novel medicines to treat mechanically-driven diseases including asthma, hypertension, preterm labor, fibrosis, and others.

Forcyte Biotechnologies

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Discover drugs that control cell squeezing

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a drug discovery platform using patented bioMEMS technology that measures how strongly cells contract. By turning cell contraction into a quantifiable metric, we're able to screen hundreds of thousands of compounds against contractile human cells. This lets us map human mechanobiology and find drug candidates to treat diseases caused by abnormal cell squeezing, like asthma and fibrosis.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Los Angeles, CA, and after YC, the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles offers the biotech talent and research institutions we need, plus it's where our team and founders are rooted. We want to keep growing locally rather than move elsewhere after YC.

자주 묻는 질문

Forcyte Biotechnologies의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Forcyte Biotechnologies의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Forcyte Biotechnologies과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
