About
Talus Bioscience is a Seattle-based AI-powered drug discovery company targeting transcription factors — the class of proteins historically considered "undruggable" that regulate gene expression and drive many cancers — using its proprietary MARMOT platform (MAssive Regulome Mapping Of Transcriptomes) to measure the binding activity of small molecules across 10,000+ regulomes monthly using live, unmodified human cells. Founded and backed by Y Combinator (W21) with $11.2 million in Seed+ funding raised in August 2024, Talus received FDA and EMA approval for Phase I human trials of its lead program MSD-001 in 2024 — advancing toward first-in-human studies for a transcription factor-targeted cancer therapy.
