About Us

We are on a mission to re-write the rules of drug discovery.

“At Cellarity, we are focused on the entire cell state – not just a single disease target. I believe that will lead to much better treatments.”

Max Rogers-Grazado, Scientist

Meet The Team

Our Leadership Team

With our combined expertise in drug development, artificial intelligence and machine learning, computational biology, biology and chemistry, we are developing game-changing medicines that holistically correct disease biology to improve outcomes for people with a range of challenging diseases.

A critical element of our success is our collaborative culture, which fosters innovation and cross-discipline cooperation among seasoned experts in artificial intelligence and machine learning, biology, computational biology and chemistry.

Our Founders

We are founded by a visionary team on a mission to push the boundaries of drug discovery in service of patients. Hailing from both Flagship Pioneering and academia, our roots lie in asking “What if…?” and finding the answers.

Our Board

Our Board includes industry leading experts from the pharma, biotech and tech industries. Energized by our mission to create medicines currently out of reach to patients in need, our Board embraces our passion for harnessing the power of AI and single-cell omics data to see disease biology others can’t.

Cellarity was founded on the premise that traditional drug discovery is limited by human bias. Conventional drug discovery narrows down disease to a single target to define and deliver therapeutic interventions, but often this approach is insufficient because disease phenotypes are based on a cascade of complex cellular relationships and interactions that occur at specific times in the cell development process. Focusing on therapeutic intervention within this dynamic disease state, Cellarity’s goal is to deliver novel therapeutics that switch disease mechanisms to healthy cell function.

At Cellarity, we believe we can vastly improve outcomes by designing therapeutics that correct cell-state dysfunction. Our integrated multi-omics and AI-powered discovery platform comprehensively maps networks of cell and gene interactions to predict and design oral Cell State-Correcting therapeutics that can precisely regulate gene “switch” mechanisms to restore proper cell function. Cellarity was launched by Flagship Pioneering in 2019.
