Drugs discovered in test tubes are failing patients.
The holy grail is to use data from in vivo experiments to discover drugs - but they can’t be generated at scale.
We have made in vivo experiments scalable. We are building a new way of doing discovery, starting from and guided by in vivo data.

Mosaic: The first platform to generate high-resolution in vivo data at scale

Single-cell resolution

Measuring both phenotypic and transcriptomic changes in cell states, we can precisely capture general rules of drug efficacy as well as drug-induced changes in gene expression.

One experiment, many patients

Leveraging our proprietary methods for pooling cells from 10s to 100s of diverse patients in one tumor and single-cell RNA profiling, we can determine drug action across all of those patients in one experiment. By using a mosaic of patient cells, we can better represent patient diversity in drug response earlier in the discovery process.

In vivo

In vitro models overlook the fact that disease occurs in living organisms. Our platform is the first to study drug-cell interactions in vivo – allowing us to uncover previously undetectable mechanisms of action and resistance.

AI models trained on our in vivo atlas that capture the diversity of patients

To uncover novel targets and drug candidates, undetectable by today’s models.
