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.

ABOUT

Bridging Neuroscience and AI Innovation

At EngramBio, we combine neuroscience expertise with artificial intelligence to reimagine how therapies for neurodegenerative diseases are discovered and developed. Our discovery approach is built around human-relevant biology. By integrating human iPSC-derived neurons with advanced machine learning and computational biology, we create systems that more accurately reflect disease mechanisms in the human brain and better predict therapeutic success. Focused on repairing synapses rather than managing downstream pathology, we aim to restore cognitive function for people with dementia. We believe memory loss is not inevitable, and that reversing cognitive decline can become a reality.

TECHNOLOGY

Our Core Technology platform

Our integrated approach combines neuroscience with advanced computational tools to support discovery and therapeutic development.

In Silico Optimization & Target Prioritization

We use in silico screening and modeling to optimize lead molecules and prioritize synapse-repair targets identified from human data, published literature, and open-source databases.

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.
