Our mission is to identify novel cardiac therapies through targeting of the disease transcriptome. Founded in 2016, Genome Biologics won the EIC SME Instrument Phase 1 and the German Biotechnology Day challenge award in 2017, becoming founder resident at Johnson & Johnson Innovation - JLABS in Beerse, Belgium. In 2018, we won the EIC SME Instrument Phase 2 and Merck Venture Lounge award. Our Ai-driven GENIMAPS and preclinical GENISYST precision disease modelling technology has led to joint and in-house drug development programs with MedChem and Pharma. In addition to funding and support from the European Union Innovation Council (EIC), JLABS, Medical Research Council (MRC/UKRI), Hessen Trade and Invest and Goethe University Frankfurt, Genome Biologics has raised private investment for indication specific programs.
