The company

Transcripta was founded by people who have been waiting on better answers.

The shared conviction: drug discovery has a tractable problem at its core. See biology clearly enough, at the resolution where disease actually happens, and the medicine follows.

Mission

We map what disease does to cells, and what drugs do to cells — at full transcriptomic resolution — then use AI to connect them.

We turn that understanding into medicines for patients with serious disease — illnesses that have gone too long without real options.

Vision

The transcriptome becomes the standard of evidence in drug discovery.

No molecule should enter a patient without a complete map of what it does to human cells. We're building that future.

Careers

We're hiring scientists and engineers who want to build something that matters.

If you want to work at the resolution of biology, we'd like to meet you. Current openings and locations live on our careers page.

How we work
Patients first
Every program traces back to people waiting for treatments.
Small teams, real ownership
Few people, real responsibility, decisions made fast.
Rigor over hype
Claims earn their place at the resolution of the data.
Bias toward the lab
Wet-lab results settle debates and feed the model.
