Forcyte Biotechnologies 做什么

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.

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.
