Fueling Innovation in Biopharma R&D

Enabling breakthroughs in drug discovery and development through deep sciences and deep tech collaboration

Our focus and approach to pharma R&D

Despite tremendous advances in scRNA, Omics, and gene data, areas of target biology and chemical spaces still need to be fully understood. Aganitha is a new generation in silico company that integrates high-throughput sciences with deep learning-based generative models to solve complex drug discovery and development challenges. Our approach focuses on deep sciences and deep tech collaboration and includes:

Multidisciplinary culture
Leveraging multidisciplinary teams with expertise in AI, deep learning, high-throughput sciences, and computational chemistry and biology to accelerate innovation
Therapeutic advancements
Applying advancement in modalities, including gene and cell therapies, mRNA/RNA, advanced antibody engineering, and ASO, to develop more precise and effective therapeutics

Wet lab augmentation with in silico techniques

Blending in silico techniques with wet lab approaches, using physics-based chemistry and first principles-based systems biology

Data driven discovery
Utilizing methods and techniques to handle data deluge (e.g., Omics) and data gaps (e.g., antibody data for AI/ML) to discover novel therapeutics

Disease Focus

We augment our customers’ R&D teams with our skills in structural biology, computational chemistry, and generative AI. We help in target identification and drug discovery for treating rare diseases, CNS, Immunology, Oncology, and other disease areas, improving patients’ lives worldwide.

Mechanism of Action (MoA)

By comprehending the mechanism of action at various levels – molecular, tissue, and systems – we identify precision targets for development of innovative therapeutic options that address disease symptoms and root causes. Our multiscale approach provides a more precise and detailed understanding of disease pathways, even for new modalities with limited knowledge. We deliver insights into the following aspects of drug design (with our tools):

Target identification:

Molecular understanding for cells, tissues, plasma, intra-cellular insights (RNA, proteins, lysosomal clearance, etc.), GWAS for genetic linkages, and signaling and pathways

Mechanism of action understanding and validation:

Signaling pathways, deeper understanding of promoters, and enhancers through scRNA, Transcriptomics, and ASO

Innovative therapeutic designs:

Complement wet lab methods to help seed generation and optimize innovations in gene cell therapies, mRNA /RNA, advanced antibody engineering (mAbs, ADCs, BiSpecifics, etc.), and ASO using Deep learning and generative designs

Targeted delivery:

Optimization of viral capsids etc., allow delivery of the drug payload to cells/tissues/organs with precision. Deep MoA insights allow finer control of next-generation gene therapies, base, prime editors, etc.
