Repair, restore, remember
Restoring memory formation to preserve quality of life
Through human-relevant biology and AI innovation, we are focused on repairing synapses to restore cognitive function and help patients remember what matters most.
Bridging Neuroscience and AI Innovation
At EngramBio, we engineer the next generation of therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases by pairing deep neuroscience with a discipline-driven AI workflow. Our approach is anchored in human iPSC-derived neurons and other disease-relevant models. Our computational tools combine structure prediction and physics-based simulation to optimize candidates across binding, brain stability, and drug-like properties simultaneously. Every in silico claim is held against wet-lab arbitration, so what we advance into the clinic is what survives both rigorous computation and the experimental gold standard. We focus on repairing synapses rather than chasing downstream pathology, because we believe memory loss is not inevitable and reversing cognitive decline can become a reality.
Our Core Technology platform
Our integrated approach combines neuroscience with advanced computational tools to support discovery and therapeutic development.
Chemistry-Aware AI + Physics-Based Optimization
We design lead molecules using AI structure prediction that natively models drug-like properties that off-the-shelf protein-folding tools cannot represent. Candidates are then refined under physics-based molecular dynamics and free-energy calculations and ranked across binding, brain stability, and clinical translatability simultaneously. The result is a pipeline that converges on molecules with the trade-offs already engineered in.
Neuroscience-Led Wet Lab Validation
Lead candidates are validated and refined in rigorous wet-lab assays by our neuroscience team using disease-relevant models. We assess mechanism, synaptic function, and early translational signals to ensure biological rigor before advancing programs.
Diversified Synapse Repair Pipeline
A diversified synapse-repair pipeline supported by screening in diverse human neuronal models, enabling identification of therapies that restore synaptic function across patient-relevant contexts.
