Current drug discovery approaches are built around finding where static binding already exists.

The Constraint

Conventional drugs miss ~80% of the disease-relevant proteins

Small molecules, biologics, and most emerging modalities depend on pre-existing, detectable binding sites — accessing fewer than 15% of the proteome and leaving most disease-driving proteins out of reach.

The Gap

Induced proximity has been serendipitous

Recent advances have begun to unlock these targets, but discovery has been largely accidental. No systematic framework exists — success cannot be predicted or reproduced at scale.

The Opportunity

A systematic framework doesn't exist yet

Protein surfaces encode a vast, unmapped interaction landscape. The biology to program novel functional interactions exists — what's missing is the platform to access it systematically.

Why Now

Four fields have matured and only now are powerful enough to combine

Together they make it possible to systematically engage a class of targets that has resisted every prior generation of therapeutics.

AI/ML for Biology

AlphaFold and successors made protein structure computationally tractable — turning surfaces into data.

Structural Biology

Atomic-resolution understanding of interfaces and dynamic conformations invisible to earlier methods.

Next-Generation Modalities

Therapeutics engineered for surface and interface biology — reaching targets small molecules cannot.

Induced Proximity

FDA-validated molecular glues proved that induced proximity produces real therapeutic outcomes.

Our Platform

ARC-Engine:

A single platform. Multiple Application

Analyze

Builds a comprehensive view of the protein interaction landscape to reveal opportunities invisible to conventional approaches.

Resolve

Identifies compatible protein pairings with the highest potential for programmable biological control.

Construct

Translates platform insights into therapeutic candidates designed for precision and purpose.

Closed-loop learning:

The platform learns from every experiment, improving discovery speed and candidate quality over time.
