We are announcing the nomination of a preclinical candidate (PCC) for kidney fibrosis. In AI-powered drug discovery, most companies specialize either in target discovery (and license in someone else's molecules) or chemistry (discover new molecules for known targets). In this case, Insilico used its generative biology AI to identify a novel target and used its generative chemistry AI to design a novel small molecule, and then used its drug discovery team and a network of CROs to complete multiple laboratory validation experiments.
