About C4X Discovery
C4X Discovery aims to become the world's most productive drug
discovery engine by exploiting cutting edge technologies to design
and create best-in-class small-molecule candidates targeting a
range of high value therapeutic areas. The company's goal is to
drive returns through early-stage revenue-generating deals with the
pharmaceutical industry.
C4X Discovery has a state-of-the-art suite of proprietary
technologies across the drug discovery process. The company's
innovative DNA-based target identification platform (Taxonomy3(R))
utilises human genetic datasets to identify novel patient-specific
targets leading to greater discovery productivity and increased
probability of clinical success. This is complemented by C4X's
novel drug design platform which comprises two innovative chemistry
technologies, Conformetrix and Molplex, that combine 4D molecular
shape analyses (based on experimental data) with best-in-class
computational chemistry. This provides new and unprecedented
insight into the behaviour of drug molecules, enabling the
production of potent selective compounds faster and more cost
effectively than the industry standard.
C4X Discovery is advancing its in-house pipeline in addiction,
diabetes and inflammation with a number of new drug candidates
identified and further progress made towards the clinic. In
selecting new targets C4X Discovery will focus on the high-value
disease areas of inflammation and neurodegeneration, and will
continue to maximise value from opportunistic areas, for example,
immuno-oncology.
The Company was founded as a spin-out from the University of
Manchester. It has a highly experienced management team and Board
who have delivered significant value creation within the healthcare
sector historically and have enabled C4X to reach multiple value
inflexion points since IPO. For additional information please go
