About Us
Our mission is to redefine the way we approach treatments for complex, chronic diseases. Theraplexus is a novel computational platform that predicts and prioritizes drug targets for treating complex, chronic diseases like cancers, heart disease, and Parkinson's. Theraplexus' data driven approach integrates complex genetic and molecular information for a given disease into a network model then pinpoints a single gene or molecule that targets all the disease pathways at once.
We believe the Theraplexus platform will redefine drug discovery, paving the way for next generation therapeutics targeting the root molecular causes of disease.
