Checkmating Cancer Evolution
We're targeting the infrastructure that enables cancer cells to evolve
Designing cancer cures
1.
Heterogenous Cancer
Tumours harness CIN and point mutations to evolve genetic heterogeneity, the key reason for the poor survival of cancer patients.
We develop the first personalised medicines to treat heterogeneous cancers.
2.
Specific targets
We discover drug targets essential for tumours to survive the consequences of CIN.
We tackle the challenge of distinguishing these targets and defining their respective patient selection molecular markers.
3.
Precision medicines
Enedra’s platform uses the power of advanced computational and genomic science to discover the first precision medicines, that are effective despite the biological complexity of heterogenous cancers.
Enedra is developing a pipeline of programs on multiple novel cancer agnostic targets, currently at the discovery stage.
