Paratus Sciences

Paratus Sciences is unlocking novel disease targets and accelerating drug discovery by leveraging the extraordinary adaptive biology of bats. Bats numerous evolutionary adaptations allow them to resist developing many diseases, and also endow them with remarkable physiological fitness and longevity. At Paratus, we are utilizing these unique biological advantages as a roadmap to potentially address a broad spectrum of significant challenges to human health. Our proprietary discovery platform, which fully integrates cell biology, genomics, and informatics, empowers us with massive data inputs through which we are able to compare the evolved patterns of disease resistance and health management in bats with patterns of disease development and progression in humans. Through this data-driven comparative analysis, we aim to rapidly identify and prioritize novel targets and develop innovative therapeutics that can mimic bats adaptations in order to address or prevent human disease.
