Genome Biologics UG, Frankfurt, Germany, today announced that they have been awarded the sum of €2.42 million for their project: Reducing the cost, time, and ethical burden of preclinical research in the pharmaceutical industry.

Modern drug discovery is an inefficient, expensive and risky process. The average cost of a successful drug introduction now exceeds $3bn, with a time-to-market in excess of 10 years. The consumption of patent-life during R&D has a profound financial impact, with the decreasing economic life of an approved drug leading to increased market costs. The key bottleneck and attrition point in drug discovery is the hit-to-lead transition from early hits identified by multiple approaches (including genomics, proteomics, high-throughput screening, AI) and in-vivo proof-of-target.

"This H2020 grant award will allow us to accelerate development of our unique technologies - the AI-driven Drug-Disease matching platform (GENIMAPS®) and our in vivo multi-modality drug testing technology (GENISYST®) - and increase our capacity to rapidly develop, and bring to market making research Faster, Cheaper, more Disease-Relevant and more Ethical", said Prof. Jaya Krishnan, CTO of Genome Biologics.

"We are delighted to receive this award from the European Commission, which will help accelerate drug development and lead to new and innovative medicines to treat some of the World's worst diseases", said Jonathan Ward, CEO of Genome Biologics.
