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

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.
