1/ We @OctantBio are excited to help start the OpenADMET consortium, catalyzed by this grant from @ARPA_H! We will build open datasets, competitions and ultimately foundation models for small molecule PK and safety properties. In the 🧵👇, I'll describe the problem & our approach
Congrats, @fraser_lab! Up to $30M from @ARPA_H for AI-driven effort to speed drug discovery by mapping interactions that cause side effects, with @QBI_UCSF 's help. tiny.ucsf.edu/2oP8KT
We've started IND-enabling studies on a small molecule corrector for Rho-associated autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (Rho-adRP). I thought it would be fun to spend some time walking through our approach and why we are excited. Long 🧵1/

Excited to connect with biotech adventurers at the Stanford Drug Discovery Symposium! @rplenge and @diane_dickel will share the results of our @bmsnews collaboration on deep mutational scans of TYK2, an important target for the treatment of autoimmune phenotypes. #SDDS2024
Gloves stay on in lab, but they come off for our board game club on Wednesdays! Happy National Board Game Day!
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Our new base cell line is even repping GFP to celebrate!
We're thrilled to welcome back @johnnyleebio, an original Octant Apprentice. Completing his medical degree at USC, he's now teaming up with us to push our rare disease programs to clinical development. For more details on our programs, see here! octant.bio/pipeline
We've been collaborating with our local YMCA's college readiness program to provide opportunities for first-generation students. To learn more about how we're fostering positive change in STEM, check out our latest blog post on our mentorship program! octant.bio/blog-posts/unv…
Wishing you a joyful holiday season from all of us at Octant! May this time be filled with warmth, gratitude, and the company of loved ones. Here's to a successful year and an even brighter one ahead. Happy holidays!
Big news! We're excited to announce the addition of some stellar leaders to our team this year. We are honored to welcome aboard Chris Sinz, Matthew Albert, Rebecca Velez Frey, and Wen-Chen Yeh. Read more about why we're so thrilled to work with them here: octant.bio/blog-posts/ann…
We identified 15 new hits this week! They may have all been homemade dishes, but it still counts. 😉 We're so thankful for everyone who supports us in making a difference at Octant. From our team to yours, happy Thanksgiving!
Addressing challenging diseases requires innovation. Our platform, using genetic barcodes, enables simultaneous screening of multiple pathways or mutations in cells. We call this approach Broad Target Scanning, which you can read about here! octant.bio/blog-posts/mul…
It was a blast to participate in S3's startup web series this week. Thanks so much to @jasonjoyride and the S3 team for helping us tell the Octant story! You can watch it here:
You should 100% go watch episode 15 of S³, but if reading at your own speed, is more your speed, you'll love this. - The main biotech enabling Octant - Synthetic bio, robots, and drugs - How to build a biotech startup saturdaystartups.beehiiv.com/p/octant-15
We're excited to announce that applications for our 2024-2025 apprenticeship are open! This is a program for fresh college grads looking to gain experience in biology or chemistry to advance drug discovery. Apply here and please share with your networks! octant.bio/jobs?gh_jid=49…
Not just a summer fling, Nithish loved his software engineering internship so much that he decided to stay on as an Octant Apprentice! We feel really lucky that we locked it down and are excited for the coming year. Read about his experience here: octant.bio/blog-posts/fro…
Since its start in 2019, our apprenticeship program has transformed 27 fresh college grads into meaningful contributors at Octant. Check out our latest blog to learn how you can launch careers and turn new grads into biotech superstars, too! octant.bio/blog-posts/ope…
What Cooper didn't mention in his blog is that he threw a fun meme-themed happy hour for us too! From implementing new lab ops procedures to managing legal contracts, we value the contributions he made this summer. Can't wait to see what he does next! law.nyu.edu/news/student-s…
Today is World Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Day, a day to shine light on this hereditary blinding disease. Join us in raising awareness by reading the inspiring story of one family's RP journey. These people fuel our determination for drug discovery. cnn.com/travel/article…
What's the scoop? Emeryville is where it's at for biosciences! We loved connecting with other biotechs at our ice cream social. Thanks @faunabio, @ArcadiaScience, and @unspun_io for joining! Unspun actually works on jeans— not genes… We guess they’re still cool, though. 😉
From building computational tools for drug screening to performing a killer duet at our 6th birthday party, @MukundhMurthy left his mark on Octant during his data science internship this summer. Read about his experience here: octant.bio/blog-posts/mac…
