Mapping nature’s pharmacy
We are on a mission to build a functional map of the world’s natural chemistry, leveraging advanced technologies to uncover its enormous potential to improve health and well-being.
We are putting this chemistry to work to address the greatest health challenges of our time.
Our Development Programs
First-in-class and best-in-class medicines with the potential to meet critical areas of unmet medical need.
Neurology
A wealth of scientific research and centuries of traditional knowledge highlight the remarkable impact of natural chemistry on neurological function. Yet we are only just beginning to understand the full breadth of its therapeutic potential. Our programs seek to leverage this phenomenon to improve and sustain cognitive function and mental health.
55M+
people suffer from dementia worldwide
1-in-8
people live with a mental health disorder
84%
of approved CNS therapies are inspired by natural chemistry
Oncology
Historically, chemotherapy has been centered around the premise of killing human cells with toxic compounds. Nature has proved to be a rich source for such molecules. Our programs aim to push modern science further, to comb the natural world for compounds that can mitigate cancer through more targeted, biologically-nuanced and safer approaches.
