Miner field: Drug Discovery

Miner field: Genomics

Phenotypic drug discovery and cell manufacturing optimization based on whole gene expression profiling with the world’s best accuracy

Overview

We conduct (i) phenotypic drug discovery and (ii) cell manufacturing optimization using our transcriptome technology with the world’s best accuracy:
(i) As whole transcriptome can detect influences of drug treatments on the cells comprehensively, we select novel compounds with high efficacy and low toxicity, and predict the mechanism of action.
(ii) By analyzing transcriptome of cells cultured under a variety of conditions, we select optimal culture media which maximize functionality and productivity of the cells.

Product / Service / PR

    Our single-cell transcriptome technology was ranked as No.1 on both accuracy and overall scores in an international benchmarking (Mereu et al. Nat Biotechnol. 2020). The application of this technology can obtain the total gene expression profile at less than 1/10 of the cost of conventional RNA sequencing technologies. By collecting transcriptome data on a large scale, we conduct joint research with pharmaceutical companies on phenotypic drug discovery and high quality regenerative medicine.
