Target Identification & Validation

The Foundation

Every drug needs a target—a protein, gene, or biological pathway whose modulation treats disease. But identifying which of 20,000+ human proteins to target, and validating that targeting them is safe and effective, remains one of drug discovery's greatest challenges.

Our Approach

We apply AI to genetic data, disease biology, and systems-level models to identify and validate therapeutic targets with unprecedented precision.

Key Methodologies

  • Genomic analysis: Mining genetic databases to identify causal disease genes and predict which are druggable
  • Protein-protein interaction networks: Understanding disease mechanisms at the systems level
  • Single-cell analysis: Using AI to analyze single-cell sequencing data, revealing cell-type-specific disease mechanisms
  • Causal inference: Moving beyond correlation to identify causative disease mechanisms
