Pangea Bio
Pangea Bio discovers and develops transformative medicines to treat neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders with large unmet medical need. We deploy AI to discover promising molecules from natural sources, such as plants, with evidence of safety and efficacy in humans based on traditional medicinal use. Nature offers great potential to uncover novel medicines: 84% of central nervous system small-molecule therapeutics are nature-inspired with less than 1% of nature’s small molecules having been mapped and explored.
Our lead R&D program focuses on the TrkB receptor pathway, which drives neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity and reduces pathological protein aggregates.
Our AI engine enables us to study the therapeutic potential of novel bioactive chemistry from the natural world at scale, including information extracted from text using Large Language Model (LLM) approaches. Our technology enables us to select therapeutically relevant species, decode their chemical composition, and predict potential activity in the human body, creating a scalable discovery engine to move from plant to hit compound.
Our team has a successful track record of founding and building neuroscience and technology companies, including: COMPASS Pathways (Nasdaq: CMPS), GW Pharma (sale to Jazz), atai (Nasdaq: ATAI) and Healx.
