PhoreMost™ is focused on bringing more effective and affordable targeted medicines to patients. To achieve this aim, PhoreMost is developing a next-generation phenotypic screening technology that can discern the best new targets for future therapy and crucially, how to drug them. This has the potential to significantly increase the diversity of novel therapeutics for cancer and other unmet diseases. Based on the company's proprietary Protein Interference (PROTEINi®) technology, PhoreMost has developed SITESEEKER®; a platform that can systematically unmask cryptic druggable sites in the human genome and then link them to useful therapeutic functions in a live-cell context.

DefiniGEN is a game-changing company headquartered in Cambridge, UK, with a mission to navigate drug development programs through uncertain terrain, minimizing risk while reducing costs and paving the way for a more efficient and effective future in the field of drug discovery. Our technology is revolutionizing liver models for efficacy and toxicology screening, utilizing a platform that enables the large-scale generation of hepatocyte-like cells ( Opti-Heps) with functional relevance comparable to human primary cells. Our Opti-Heps effectively simulate crucial aspects of disease pathophysiology across various liver conditions, providing a more accurate understanding for drug development. By integrating CRISPR/Cas9 technology, DefiniGEN replicates disease phenotypes catering to unmet needs for in vitro efficacy testing and enabling the study of previously inaccessible rare monogenic liver diseases. Our Opti-Heps successfully replicate all aspects of hepatocyte pathophysiology, allowing them to replace primary liver cells in many aspects of toxicity testing. This breakthrough provides scientists with a reliable and consistent supply of highly functional hepatocytes for the first time.
