Microcosmos, the company's drug design engine, uses proprietary algorithms to simulate protein motion at atomic resolution, generating data on dynamic behavior that has been difficult to capture at scale. These algorithms accelerate modeling of protein dynamics by 10,000x without compromising accuracy.

微宇宙公司(Microcosmos)的药物设计引擎利用专有算法在原子分辨率下模拟蛋白质运动,生成大规模难以捕捉的动态行为数据。这些算法在不降低准确性的前提下,将蛋白质动力学建模的速度提高了10,000倍。

The simulations, based on physics, enable generative design of small molecules that reshape protein behavior for the desired therapeutic effect..

基于物理学的模拟使得能够生成设计出重塑蛋白质行为的小分子,从而达到预期的治疗效果。

'Current drug discovery efforts are limited by reliance on static structures of isolated proteins,' said Huafeng Xu, PhD, Co-Founder and CEO of Fathom Therapeutics. 'Microcosmos is a world model of drugs in living cells that surpasses these limitations by translating accurate quantum mechanical calculations to measurable cellular outcomes.'.

“当前的药物发现工作受限于对孤立蛋白质静态结构的依赖,”Fathom Therapeutics联合创始人兼首席执行官胡华峰博士说道,“Microcosmos是一个活细胞中药物的世界模型,它通过将精确的量子力学计算转化为可测量的细胞结果,超越了这些限制。”

Microcosmos has demonstrated significant early momentum in guiding the discovery and optimization of molecules for multiple classes of targets and small molecule modalities. In one case, the Fathom discovery team used Microcosmos to generate novel degraders against an 'undruggable' target. Within six weeks, the platform produced potent, highly selective candidates that are now being optimized for advancement into the clinic to address a major unmet medical need..

微宇宙在指导多类靶点和小分子模式的分子发现与优化方面展现了显著的早期势头。在一个案例中,Fathom 发现团队利用微宇宙生成了针对一个“不可成药”靶点的新型降解剂。在六周内,该平台生成了强效且高度选择性的候选分子,目前这些分子正在被优化以推进到临床阶段,从而满足一项重大的未竟医疗需求。

'We backed Huafeng because he wanted to rethink how machines understand molecules, combining the best of physics and machine learning to actually move the frontier in computational drug design,' said Keith Loebner, Managing Director at Sutter Hill Ventures.

“我们支持华峰,因为他想重新思考机器如何理解分子,结合物理和机器学习的最佳方法,真正推动计算药物设计的前沿,”Sutter Hill Ventures董事总经理Keith Loebner表示。

'He and the world-class team he's assembled have demonstrated that their approach not only works, but works better than we imagined. We're proud to lead this round, turning Fathom's field-defining molecular design capability into new medicines for patients.' Founded in 1962, Sutter Hill Ventures' previous investments include NVIDIA, Snowflake, Pure Storage, Corcept Therapeutics, GRAIL, and Forty Seven..

“他和他组建的世界级团队已经证明,他们的方法不仅有效,而且比我们想象的更好。我们很自豪能够主导这一轮投资,将Fathom定义领域的分子设计能力转化为患者的新型药物。” Sutter Hill Ventures成立于1962年,其之前的投资项目包括NVIDIA、Snowflake、Pure Storage、Corcept Therapeutics、GRAIL和Forty Seven。

The new funding will accelerate the scaling of Fathom's lab-in-the-loop capabilities and the expansion of internal discovery programs in high-impact diseases. The company's leadership has collectively advanced 19 drugs to the clinic, including seven FDA-approved medicines. Fathom has an active pipeline and multiple external discovery partnerships..

新资金将加速 Fathom 的环路实验室能力的扩展,以及在高影响力疾病领域的内部发现项目的扩展。公司领导层共同推进了 19 种药物进入临床阶段,其中包括七种 FDA 批准的药物。Fathom 拥有活跃的研发管线和多个外部发现合作伙伴关系。

'We started Fathom to build a flywheel for new small molecule medicines that previously seemed impossible,' said Dr. Xu.

“我们创立Fathom是为了打造一个以前似乎不可能实现的新型小分子药物的飞轮,”徐博士说。

Fathom's two other co-founders, Jesús Izaguirre, PhD, previously at Roivant Discovery and Silicon Therapeutics, and Yujie Wu, PhD, previously at Roivant Discovery and Schrödinger, are pioneers in building molecular models for drug discovery.

Fathom的另外两位联合创始人,曾就职于Roivant Discovery和Silicon Therapeutics的耶稣·伊萨吉雷博士以及曾就职于Roivant Discovery和Schrödinger的吴玉洁博士,是构建药物发现分子模型的先驱。

'Fathom stood out to us as a company tackling one of the most ambitious and technically difficult challenges in biotech — already showing the real ability to translate computational results into molecules with promising therapeutic profiles,' said Ethan Kurzweil, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Chemistry.

“Fathom 让我们眼前一亮,这是一家致力于应对生物技术领域最具雄心且技术难度最高的挑战的公司——已经展现出将计算结果转化为具有前景的治疗分子的真实能力,”Chemistry 的联合创始人兼管理合伙人 Ethan Kurzweil 表示。

'We're excited to back Fathom as they work to build medicines that would be impossible to create any other way.'.

“我们很兴奋能够支持Fathom,因为他们致力于研发出其他方式无法创造的药物。”
