Eikon Therapeutics

Biotech startup developing innovative medicines

About Eikon Therapeutics

Eikon Therapeutics focuses on discovering and developing new medicines in the pharmaceutical industry. The company employs advanced technologies to study biological systems, aiming to identify new drug targets by examining the dynamic aspects of biology rather than just static chemical processes. Their team consists of diverse professionals, including data scientists, chemists, and engineers, which allows them to combine science and engineering to create new therapies that aim to improve and extend life. A key feature of Eikon's approach is their proprietary single-molecule tracking (SMT) platform, which enables rapid visualization of protein movements in living cells. This technology, along with artificial intelligence and automation, allows for precise inventorying of molecular interactions. Eikon Therapeutics targets patients with serious diseases who need effective treatments, generating revenue through the development and commercialization of their therapies.
