Cellworks Group Inc. is designing novel therapies for Cancer and Auto
-
immune diseases. Cellworks does this via a breakthrough
proteomics b
ased “Therapy design” platform, which addresses one of the biggest issues in drug discovery, predicting human related
efficacy and toxicity of molecularly targeted (MT) therapeutics before expensive clinical trials. The approach is driven by v
irtual
protot
yping of cellular physiology enabling emulation of cell line(s)and animal/human experiments in a high throughput system. The
ability to perform complex experiments, and assay thousands of markers insilico, enables accurate and thorough analysis in an
order
s
of magnitude more cost effective and time efficient manner than today’s “wet” approaches.
Cellworks Advantage: CWG’s robust “Therapy design” platform is a being used to develop a rational and systematic approach for
designing novel therapies. While the
system can be used to identify novel targets and understand their holistic impact on disease
systems, Cellworks is initially focused on identifying synergistic combinations of off, on
-
patent approved
drugs for the treatment of
serious diseases. Unlike toda
y’s MT therapies which are focused on single pathways, synergistic
combinations hold the promise of
modulating multiple pathways which amplify the therapeutic effect while minimizing sideeffects.
“Virtual prototyping” of drug
-
disease
-
dosage interaction and
measuring hundreds of efficacy and toxicity markers in the integrated
disease systems, enables the identification of optimal combinations and dosage regimens. The selection of preapproved drugs w
ith well
understood pharmacology, further increases the succ
ess rate of the therapies identified.
Business Strategy: Out
-
licensing of Combination therapies for Lung/Colo
-
rectal cancer and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Partnering with Pharma, Biotech companies to design, analyze, derisk new and ongoing therapeutic programs.
T
ECHNOLOGY
The underlying proprietary technology enabling this design process is based on a predictive technology which is a virtual fun
ctional
proteomics system. Cellworks curates the world’s proteomics information, and has created the world’s largest a
nd most comprehensive
set of dynamic, functional and dynamic models
The technology encompasses integration of multiple cell systems representing a co
-
culture environment. It includes the most
comprehensive aggregation of pathways interaction with cross
-
tal
ks and autocrine/paracrine loops in context of disease associated
phenotypes. Such a framework responds in a similar fashion to perturbations, the way the natural system in question would.
Applications include Target Identification/validation and Patient s
