About Relay Therapeutics
Relay Therapeutics is committed to
creating medicines that will have a transformative impact on patients by
building a unique discovery platform centered on understanding how the
conformation of proteins relate to function. Whereas prior approaches to
imaging proteins have been limited to static pictures, Relay
Therapeutics’ approach overcomes this challenge by combining
unprecedented computational power with leading edge experimental
techniques in structural biology, biophysics, chemistry and biology.
This integration illuminates – for the first time – the full mobility of
a protein and provides key insights into how the dynamic nature of a
protein’s conformation regulates function. By applying these insights,
Relay Therapeutics aims to modulate protein conformation to develop
novel therapies for patients. The company’s initial programs are focused
on developing therapeutics in oncology. Headquartered in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, Relay Therapeutics is a private company launched in 2016.
To date the company has raised $520M from investors including Third Rock
Ventures, SoftBank Vision Fund, GV, Casdin Capital, BVF Partners, EcoR1
Capital, Foresite Capital, Perceptive Advisors, Tavistock Group and an
affiliate of D.E. Shaw Research.
