The Goal Of Every Drug

Change Cell Function

PROBLEM

But current drug discovery approaches

don't directly measure cell function

Current discovery models are either:

  • not physiologically relevant,
  • not scalable,
  • only address narrow biology
Existing –omics cannot predict cell function:

Genomics

Many genes not expressed or governed by complex mechanisms

Transcriptomics

Presence doesn’t indicate amount or functionality of protein

Proteomics

Presence doesn’t ensure functional involvement or describe interactivity with other molecules

Metabolomics

Presence doesn’t indicate involvement in relevant pathway; may be involved in multiple processes

These are upstream components of what actually matters:

cell function

This is especially important in mechanomics

Addressing the huge pan-biological mechanomic
disease space:

Contractile cell function:
fundamental property in all cells

THE VISION

We’re pioneering the field of

Mechanomics

a functional –omics describing the contractile cell function underlying the physicality of biology and its universal roles in health and disease

Our goal:

Build an atlas of human mechanobiology
