Solving for disease dynamics to deliver new medicines
ABOUT CAIRN
Cairn Biosciences discovers new medicines by mapping multiscale cell dynamics. Our proprietary COMPASS discovery platform unlocks exclusive routes to novel targets and drugs by navigating uncharted, complex and dynamic disease biology.
TM
Using COMPASS, our diverse, multidisciplinary team of experts in drug discovery, disease biology, engineering and computation is pioneering a new drug discovery paradigm that utilizes our innovative simulations of living biology to deliver better therapeutics.
We are initially orienting COMPASS to the exciting challenge of discovering new drugs that overcome acquired resistance to targeted cancer therapies.
