Founded in 2021 and headquartered in New York City. We are a drug discovery company developing a new generation of therapeutics that embrace the complexity of disease. Currently available approaches for creating drugs work on the principal of finding one drug-one protein ‘magic bullets’. By designing multi-specific drugs, we are able to create therapeutics that are more efficacious and safer than existing medicines.
