Our Science

Embedding the patient, from the earliest stages of innovation.

We constantly ask which new technologies will allow us to drive the progression of our programmes. To do this, we create experimental and computational systems to understand the biological processes in human health and disease.

Our technologies enable us to generate, analyse and interpret human data about the behaviour of genes, cells and tissues in an unparalleled fashion. Above all, we drive unprecedented integration to identify new therapeutic targets and translate those into transformational medicines.

World-class integration:
translating science into medicine.

Multi-modal patient data

We use human genetics and proprietary omics generated directly from patient tissue to understand the genetic basis of clinical phenotypes.

Our approach enables us to build rich maps of disease biology from which we discover novel targets. The data we leverage enables us to link cause to phenotype, which we test with perturbational omics and translational cellular models.

Perturbational omics and translational cellular models

We deploy interventional experiments with a range of perturbation technologies to test the role of a gene in driving cellular phenotype of disease.

Our cellular and pre-clinical models have translational phenotypes that faithfully capture human disease for our high-performance experimentation.

High-performance experimentation and computation

Our lab integrates tissue profiling, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, sequencing and target validation.

At Relation, we pioneer a Lab-in-the-Loop approach to drug target discovery and development. In partnership with NVIDIA, we leverage hyperscale compute to enable our class-leading machine learning platforms.

Machine learning

To analyse and interpret the scale of data we generate, we deploy machine learning.

We leverage machine learning across target identification, prioritisation and validation, as well as experimental design. In every case, we use the most appropriate methods, including generative and large language models, and graph neural networks.
