Enter Forcyte Bio: Cell function is the epicenter of disease and its treatment, and the ultimate goal of all therapeutics is to affect cell function. At Forcyte, our approach is to confront cell function at the outset of drug discovery, at the earliest stages to dramatically improve the odds of successful translation. Our philosophy is to […]

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Forcyte Biotechnologies, a tech-enabled drug discovery company targeting diseases of mechanobiology, has secured new funding from Milestone View, Pioneer Fund, Acequia Capital, Y Combinator, Jude Gomila (CEO, Golden), and others. Including public support, this funding brings Forcyte’s total raised to $5.7M for their internal “mechano-therapeutic” pipeline, focusing first on fibrosis. “Contractile cell function
Forcyte has been awarded a $1.5M phase 2 SBIR to continue developing functional assays for cellular contractility to support programs in respiratory, hypertension, and many other indications where cellular force plays a big role. These tools will enable researchers to get to functional endpoints faster, using human cells, but without using humans. 384-wellplate products will
