Projectdetails

Introduction

Celeris Therapeutics is a deep learning company that uses innovative, in-silico methods such as geometric deep learning and graph neural networks to degrade currently undruggable targets (pathogenic proteins). The platform shall make a broad impact by addressing currently incurable diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and different types of cancer like breast and prostate cancer.

Technical Solution

Celeris Therapeutics' technical solution is the web application (orchestration platform) Celeris One.

Modules

It consists of three modules:

  1. Hades - target ID
  2. Xanthos - predicting biomolecular interactions and ligand design
  3. Hephaistos - automated synthesis and validation

Market Focus

The addressed market is in the early-stage drug discovery, and users are pharmaceutical and biotech companies with a focus on Targeted Protein Degradation.

Target Customers

The targeted customers are medicinal and computational chemists, who currently rely on docking, which is computationally intensive, slow, and inaccurate compared to CelerisTx deep learning methods.
