Sable's method delivers significant time and cost savings in drug development, enabling the faster delivery of safer medications to patients in need. Unexpected toxicity is a key cause of failure in drug discovery campaigns.
Adam Shuaib, Partner at Episode 1, commented: “Target safety remains a critical hurdle in the drug discovery process, and as two rockstar scientists, Alex and Josh are uniquely positioned to solve such a complex problem. The advent of LLMs is a monumental technological shift that will help Sable Bio unlock swathes of data previously inaccessible within the scientific literature, ultimately reducing the time-to-market and costs associated with clinical trials”
Tom Wilson, Partner at SeedCamp, added: “Taking drugs to market from discovery to development and beyond takes far too long and toxicity is a major factor adding delays or causing such processes to fail entirely. Sable is perfectly positioned to solve this problem by providing access to the right data at the right time to those who need it, leveraging LLMs to surface data that would have previously been impossible to cover fully. Alex and Josh as co-founders have the ideal blend of scientific excellence, specific domain experience and entrepreneurially drive to be building Sable and we’re delighted to have the opportunity to partner with them“.
