Reveal Cellular Choreography | See Biology in Motion
Cellanome enables scientists to capture the intricacies of cells and their interactions, with the scale, resolution and context necessary to unravel biological complexity. Our live-cell analysis platform captures cellular dynamics at scale, integrating time-lapse imaging with single-cell transcriptomics to reveal how cells evolve, interact, and respond over time. This generates AI-ready datasets with the context and continuity needed to advance therapeutic development and mechanistic understanding across immunology, oncology, neuroscience, and aging.

Cellino is building a scalable, automated biomanufacturing system for potentially curative personalized cell therapies. Cellino’s vision is to enable healthier lives worldwide with personalized treatments derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which can serve as the basis for therapies for a host of chronic degenerative diseases, including vision loss and Parkinsons disease.

Our mission is to create a new generation of smarter medicines that outmaneuver complex diseases in ways previously inconceivable. To accomplish this mission, we are building a synthetic biology platform that could enable us to program next-generation cell and gene therapies with what we refer to as “gene circuits”. These gene circuits, which are created from novel and proprietary combinations of DNA sequences, are intended to reprogram cells with biological logic to sense inputs, compute decisions and respond to their cellular environments. We are designing gene circuits to improve the “intelligence” of cell and gene therapies in order to enhance their therapeutic effectiveness against a broad range of diseases that conventional medicines do not readily address.

SyntheX uses synthetic biology to create the next generation of drug discovery platforms. Using genetically engineered circuits, we rely on intracellular drug selection as opposed to in-vitro screening. This allows us to discover unbiased compounds with novel modes of action that can engage targets in either competitive or allosteric ways. We have developed ToRPPIDO to discover disruptors of protein-protein interactions (PPIs), and ToRNeDO to discover functional molecular glues for degraders of a neosubstrate of interest with a desired E3 ligase.
In the same cells, we incorporate our proprietary DNA-encoded libraries of peptides and macrocycles to enable the production and selection of molecules in an efficient and high throughput manner.
Our lead programs focus on oncology.
