Reducing the cost, time, and ethical burden of preclinical research in the pharmaceutical industry

Objective

Recent advances in genomics, molecular science, and big data are changing the way we define and target diseases, but drug discovery is still a time-consuming, expensive and risky process. Genome Biologics provides a unique combination of tools – GENIMAPS and GENISYST – to provide an integrated platform, with a disruptive effect on the time, cost and risk of drug discovery and pre-clinical trial development.
GENISYST uses a unique transgenic methodology to allow up to 50 genes to be expressed in one animal, directly in target tissue, without affecting the genome. This methodology removes the need for breeding, radically reducing the number of animals needed to make a transgenic animal model by a factor of 100, and enables transgenic large animal models, a current commercial gap in the market. The toolkit reduces the time to prepare animal models, and the cost of drug discovery and pre-clinical trials, by an order of magnitude. The impact of this is cheaper, more rapidly developed, drugs, with a greater target to market success rate.
GENIMAPS combines big data, AI and a unique multi-omics approach to make rapid and precise matches between disease indicators and compound behaviours, allow rapid identification of targets, genetic expression, and compound matches. As well as precision medicine, GENIMAPS also allows the rapid evaluation of an existing pipeline, allowing repositioning of a company’s existing, FDA approved assets (or orphan drugs) – increasing the return on public and private investment.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

SME-2 - SME instrument phase 2

Coordinator

GENOME BIOLOGICS UG
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
