Pioneering the next GEneration of precision Oncology medicines

Dark Blue Therapeutics is an innovative cancer drug discovery company leveraging ground-breaking therapeutic and disease insights to exploit cancer’s vulnerabilities and dependencies.

Learn more about our science

Tumorigenic mutations provide cancer cells with a critical growth and survival advantage. However, they can confer dependencies or vulnerabilities that discriminate them from normal cells. These key differences often represent an Achilles heel, providing rich therapeutic opportunities.

We combine proprietary chemical and functional genomics with deep insights from our academic partners to identify drug targets with high translational potential. This is coupled with an industry-leading structurally enabled medicinal chemistry platform to deliver transformational precision medicines for molecularly defined high unmet need patient populations.

At Dark Blue Therapeutics we believe the challenges of cancer drug discovery require a fully committed collaborative approach to succeed. We are deeply embedded in the Oxford University ecosystem and partner closely with world leading academics in Oxford and beyond to leverage deep target and mechanistic insights.

Our extensive partner network enables us to work across a wide range of cancer biology. Using these unique insights, we can prosecute challenging targets with the optimal drug mechanism to deliver transformative medicines.
