Enhanced Genomics specializes in using its unique 3D multi-omics platform to identify genetically validated drug targets for complex, common diseases. This platform and its cell type-specific atlas can define the causal biology of diseases on a genome-wide scale, translating vast amounts of data into actionable insights. This process aims to increase the success rate of drug development and significantly reduce the time and cost involved. By providing strong genetic evidence for new drug targets, Enhanced Genomics believes it can lead the next major shift in the pharmaceutical industry. The company's founders have pioneered technology to map 3D interactions across the entire genome and integrate this with comprehensive multi-omics data, giving them the ability to decipher the causal biology of complex genetic diseases and potentially develop new blockbuster therapies. The company is actively pursuing its own in-house discovery and development programs while also seeking partnerships to help others with their drug discovery initiatives. The ultimate goal is to identify new, high-confidence therapeutic targets for common diseases where there is a significant unmet medical need.
