The next frontier in oncology

Driven by physics.

PhAsIca Biosciences is building a physics-driven AI platform to make biomolecular condensates therapeutically tractable — opening access to cancer biology that conventional drug discovery struggles to reach.

Purpose

A new therapeutic space in oncology.

Biomolecular condensates organise processes such as transcription, DNA repair, signalling and treatment resistance. Their dynamic, multicomponent nature makes them difficult to address with conventional approaches.

Mission

To identify, prioritise and modulate condensate-forming proteins and intrinsically disordered regions involved in tumour initiation, progression, immune escape and treatment resistance — enabling first-in-class therapies for cancers that remain beyond conventional drug discovery.

Vision

To turn biomolecular condensates from an “undruggable” layer of cancer biology into a predictable and actionable therapeutic frontier, using quantitative physics, artificial intelligence and experimental validation.

The PhAsIca Platform

Predictive design, not trial and error.

The platform models biomolecular condensates as integrated molecular systems rather than isolated proteins. It combines multiscale physics-based simulations, AI, bioinformatics and multi-omics to identify actionable interaction hotspots and rationally design therapeutic modulators.

Its proprietary layer integrates cancer-specific workflows, AI models trained on internal data, multi-omics prioritisation, modulator-design algorithms and an experimental validation cascade.

PhAsIca five-step discovery engine
01

Identify disease condensates

Multi-omics, AI and physics identify condensate-forming proteins driving cancer biology.

02

Map interaction networks

Multiscale simulations reveal the interaction network sustaining each condensate.

03

Find critical hotspots

High-contact regions are computationally prioritised as therapeutic intervention points.

04

Design modulators

Physics- and AI-guided algorithms design peptides, small molecules and biologics.

05

Rewire or dissolve

Modulators disrupt or restructure pathogenic condensates, followed by experimental validation.
