Discover MAIDEN
Human microbiome derived small molecule drugs and human molecular targets
Harnessing microbiome health
science and AI to discover new cures
The Microbiome Artificial Intelligence Drug ENabler (MAIDEN) takes advantage of a large database of disease biology and microbiome datasets to discovery small molecule therapeutics. MAIDEN integrates computational biology and chemistry to increase precision in drug candidate identification. Currently, approximately 50% of approved drugs utilised natural products as the genesis for the development of new therapeutics. Novel structural scaffolds/motifs harnessed from bioactive natural products facilitate the discovery of new molecules with high biological relevance. MAIDEN works with the promising field of microbiome yet delivers to Pharma with an actionable drug modality that complements the existing drug development and regulatory frameworks.
- AI-enabled interpretation of metagenome data for the prioritization of biomarkers, disease targets as well as potential therapeutic agents
- Industry leading analytical tools and experimental systems for functional molecule discovery
- Deep mining of metagenomes and functions
- Synthetic biology approaches for rapid production and High-throughput screening for fast characterization of bioactive, drug-like molecules



3 Technologies We Apply

1. Machine Learning based computational biology
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

2. Synthetic Biology and CRISPR
We achieve a good understanding of gene functions using state of the art gene manipulation tools and re-create microbial molecule synthesis using synthetic biology approach, turning microbes into drug producing factories.

3. Modern Functional Metabolomic and Cell Biology Tools
We use a combination of LC-MS, molecular fishing, cell and animal assays for the identification and validation of drug like molecules.
