Problem
Many cancers develop resistance to existing therapies, particularly those with Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) and alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) mechanisms. There remains a significant unmet need for novel precision medicines and companion diagnostics to improve patient outcomes and survival rates in these cancers.
Solution
Tesselate Bio is developing first-in-class precision medicines that target synthetic lethality mechanisms beyond HRD to treat cancers. The company focuses on identifying novel biological interactions and uncovering new mechanisms to create a pipeline of targeted therapies. By incorporating biomarker discovery and companion diagnostics early in their drug discovery programs, Tesselate Bio aims to personalize cancer treatment and address significant unmet needs in precision oncology.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes cancer patients with HRD and ALT cancers, as well as oncologists and researchers seeking novel precision medicine approaches.
