We believe in fighting diseases that others are afraid to tackle
Our Founding Philosophy
From 2002 to 2021, brain tumour research represented just 1% of the total UK cancer research spend (1,2). These diseases are often seen as too difficult to solve, so very few companies are willing to tackle them. This has created an opportunity as the science in this space has yet to meet modern technological advancements in biology and computing. We believe all the pieces for a breakthrough are ready and awaiting a technical group courageous enough to translate this opportunity into patient benefit.
Developments in biology and computing such as single-cell sequencing tools, lower genomic sequencing costs, hyperscale GPU computing and AI are aligning in a way reminiscent of last century’s transistor revolution. As a result, many relevant biological questions have transitioned from science problems to engineering problems. This transition will enable us to discover new drugs for many patients with brain diseases in our lifetime.
Science first
We start in the clinic and work backwards to create our technology
We have deep clinical and scientific expertise, which allows us to understand our problem space comprehensively. We see polymathic AI as a tool that enables our scientists to do qualitatively better science.
We build technology to solve specific problems, rather than starting with the technology and looking for problems to solve. This way, we work backwards from the clinic and pull together the tools we need to help our patients.

mission & values
Our mission is to help patients with under-served brain diseases.
People
We value people first and foremost. Our science arises as a result of people working collaboratively to help others.
Courage
When the odds are against us, we believe the problems we are solving are important enough that we have to try anyway. We are not afraid to confront difficult challenges.
Urgency
The faster we move, the faster we can get new therapies to patients in need. Every delay impacts real patients.
Collaboration
Magic happens when mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists, medics and AI scientists work together on the same problem.
Integrity
We hold ourselves to the most rigorous scientific standards. We do not fall in love with our ideas and we have a very high bar for internal conviction.
