Near the end of 2020, Deepmind announced that they had solved of the protein folding problem, a "50-year-old grand challenge in biology". Their approach was end-to-end deep learning, and it was the first time deep learning had solved an important scientific problem.
We believe this along with other recent breakthroughs in deep learning on 3D molecular configurations are the start of a new era in drug discovery, akin to the what AlexNet did for computer vision in 2012. Inspired by these breakthroughs, **CHARM Therapeutics** was founded with the mission to harness the power of deep learning to deliver medicines of transformational efficacy for patients.

Established in 1995, the then Huddersfield-based Trinity Pharmaceuticals specialised in cardiology, musculoskeletal and respiratory medicines. A modest sized company with real ambition, Trinity’s core objective was to satisfy patient needs whilst meeting those of the NHS.

We are particularly interested in securing rights to on market products which align to our current portfolio in:
•Respiratory
•Neonatology
•Rare Diseases

Additionally, we are also keen to hear about any other on or near market opportunities that have a focus on speciality care within the NHS which will complement our current business within the UK market.
