About Us

Modern therapies are often ineffective in treating life-changing diseases due to the complex and individual nature of the microbiome.

Age, ethnicity, diet and gender all have an impact on the composition of bacteria present in an individual’s gut, immune system or tumour physiology, which in turn influence whether drug treatments will have a positive or negative outcome.

Despite these factors, current drug development approaches remain uniform.

This leads to failed trials, poor outcomes and limited options for diverse populations, creating a significant financial impact on drug development, healthcare systems and a very personal cost for the people receiving treatment.

BioCorteX exists to change that.

At BioCorteX, we have the most extensive and varied knowledge graph of microbiome samples in existence, consisting of millions of samples. These include human, animal, soil and water microbiomes, carefully selected from over 165 geopolitical regions and representing diverse populations worldwide.

With the help of Carbon MirrorTM, our foundational biology emulator, we can test the mechanistic link between the varied microbiome and the different treatment responses, and use this information to develop positive changes in future treatments.

The actionable insights created from this unique emulation capability means that BioCorteX can create new, sophisticated therapeutics that consider the differences in individuals and human populations. Therapeutics that are no longer uniform, but tailored to benefit different communities of people suffering from life-changing diseases. With a range of therapeutic options available, individuals will be able to confidently choose a treatment that works for them, successfully.

Positively changing the future of drug development, worldwide.
