Digital Twin of Cells for Drug Discovery

DeepLife is a techbio company advancing drug positioning through artificial intelligence and digital twins of human cell types.

Its platform, TwinCell, simulates cell-type-specific behaviour by integrating over 1 billion harmonized single-cell omics data points with causal AI, enabling more precise target identification, drug repositioning and disease understanding.

DeepLife applies this technology across autoimmune, neurodegenerative and cardio metabolic diseases among others. It partners with pharmaceutical and biotech companies on asset de-risking, indication expansion and disease relevant assessment. The company has established strategic collaborations including with Biersdorf in skin disease and aging.

DeepLife leverages cell-type-specific digital twin models to pinpoint the most relevant disease indications for any therapeutic compound. At the core is TwinCell – a large-scale causal model of cell biology that identifies the molecular drivers of disease and how to reverse them. TwinCell combines this insight with large scale single cell multi omics data to build precise models of human cell types and their regulatory networks.

These digital twins replicate real cellular behaviour, predicting preclinical outcomes and enabling researchers to explore disease mechanisms in silico. This approach uncovers how compounds act at the cell-type level, enhancing target validation, biomarker discovery and indication selection.

Applied across the drug development lifecycle, TwinCell accelerates decision making, reduces risk and improves translational relevance. It supports novel target discovery, asset de-risking, indication expansion and pipeline prioritization through strategic collaborations with pharmaceutical and biotech partners.

Detect Alzheimer’s early, when it could be prevented

AgenT is a precision diagnostics company dedicated to transforming the prediction and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases, with an initial focus on Alzheimer’s disease. Built on more than a decade of research, AgenT has developed a strong scientific and technological foundation combining patented biomarkers, proprietary targeted mass spectrometry methods, and AI-based software. This approach enables the company to generate highly specific, clinically relevant insights from blood samples and to address a major unmet need in brain health: earlier, more scalable, and less invasive detection.

AgenT’s proprietary platform is designed to monitor key biological pathways involved in age-related diseases and to support multiple applications ranging from diagnostics and companion diagnostics to therapeutic target discovery. The company also benefits from a unique proprietary database built from more than 5,000 retrospective plasma samples collected across the US, Europe, and Australia, enriched with longitudinal clinical follow-up data. Through this integrated platform and data strategy, AgenT is positioning itself as a next-generation player in precision medicine for neurodegenerative diseases, with a clear path toward clinical validation, commercial deployment, and strategic partnerships in both healthcare and life sciences.

AgenT’s innovative solutions are built around HORIZON™, a proprietary multiomic platform designed to predict and monitor neurodegenerative diseases through a simple blood sample. HORIZON™ combines patented biomarkers, targeted mass spectrometry, and AI-based software, and can monitor 8 key biological pathways through 85 biomarkers. Its first applications, B-HEALED™ and B-AHEAD™, are blood-based tests designed to predict progression to Alzheimer’s dementia symptoms in cognitively unimpaired and impaired individuals. These products have already shown strong performance in a first multicenter retrospective study involving 632 individuals across the US, Europe, and Australia, with 3x fewer false positives than current tests on the market. AgenT is now advancing these solutions through an ongoing 4,200-participant pivotal clinical validation study.

AI for Drug Optimization in Neurology and Psychatry

Theremia is a precision medicine company specialized in neurology and psychiatry. Theremia develops explainable and causal AI models to help biotech and pharma companies de-risk and optimize drug development.

Founded in late 2023, Theremia stems from a simple observation: the current “one size fits all” model—one treatment, at one dose, for all patients—does not work in central nervous system (CNS) disorders. In these highly heterogeneous diseases, more than 60% of patients either do not respond to treatment or experience severe adverse effects, which largely explains high clinical failure rates.

To address this challenge, Theremia has developed a multi-scale AI integrating clinical, phenotypic, and pharmacological data to identify the right treatment for specific patient subpopulations based on their profiles and treatment responses. Leveraging causal inference methods, Theremia models treatment response to generate actionable insights compatible with regulatory decision-making.

Theremia’s platform is structured around three core use cases:
– Target Product Profile optimization: early identification of the most promising indications, endpoints, and patient subpopulations to maximize probability of success.
– Clinical trial design and execution: improved patient selection and construction of external control arms to de-risk Phase II/III trials, while reducing timelines and costs.
– Post-approval optimization and lifecycle extension: personalization of treatment parameters (e.g: dose optimization, PK/PD modeling) for potential repositioning or treatment optimization.

What makes Theremia’s technology unique is the combination of highly robust AI models with large-scale, high-quality data that are continuously enriched over time. Theremia leverages more than 1.5 million longitudinal patient records, combining clinical trial data and real-world evidence from Europe and the United States, together with a knowledge graph of over 9 million drugs and more than 20 million connections.

Theremia’s models and datasets are continuously enriched through collaborations with leading academic institutions and validated in partnership with top-tier hospitals, ensuring strong robustness, clinical relevance, and real-world applicability.

Enhancing Human Health Through the Discriminating Power of the Nervous System

NETRI is an innovative industrial TechBio whose mission is to improve human health through the discriminating power of the nervous system. The company offers a Neuron-as-a-Sensor suite (NaaS) to gain insights into the safety and efficacy of clinical or chemical compounds. NETRI focuses on pain quantification and pursues an exploratory pipeline in oncology, immunology, neurological disorders, neurotoxicity and dermatology.

Leveraging the natural capacity of neurons to encode biological interactions into electrical impulses, the NaaS suite features the world-first compartmentalized electrophysiology platform in standard 96-well plate format – NeuroFluidics™ MEA – which acts as a data generation hub for its Digital Signature libraries of tested and reference compounds. To enable the prediction of clinical outcomes, the proprietary suite includes calibrated neuronal cells, organ-on-chip hardware, AI-trained software, digital libraries and methods.

NETRI provides two types of offers:
Standard Microphysiological Systems (MPS)
NETRI’s MPS can be acquired with cells & cell reagents, scaffolds and software for R&D groups interested in:
• 3D ECM Matrix for primary or hiPSC-derived organoids and tumoroids (liver, pancreatic carcinoma, adipose tissues, brain).
• Compartmentalized barrier for innervation and vascularization of 3D hiPSC cell cultures, including multi-organoid systems.
• Compartmentalized electrophysiology for co-culture of 2D and 3D CNS or PNS cells, co-culture of neurons and skin cells and neuromuscular junction.

The Neuron-as-a-Sensor (NaaS) platform includes devices, cells & reagents, software (analytics, Digital Signature generation and access to the Digital Library), and the full NaaS methodology. Among others, this platform can be applied to the following applications:
• Drug-induced peripheral neuropathies, including CIPN, for which NETRI is currently establishing a ring trial with 6 major pharmaceutical companies and a world-leading CRO to assess inter-site reproducibility before regulatory submission of the methodology for this context of use
• General CNS neurotoxicity (pharma)
• Skin model (pruritus)
• Inflammatory pain
• Drug-induced seizure
• ALS (motor only)
• General CNS neurotoxicity (chemicals, pesticides)
