Who is Om?

At Om, we're redefining medicine discovery by removing the bespoke slog everyone traditionally faces. We're giving universal access to comprehensive, proteome-wide interaction data involving hundreds of millions of molecules. Leveraging advanced synthetic biology, pico-scale droplet engineering, and next-generation sequencing, our platform rapidly generates massive multiplexed datasets, unlocking powerful therapeutic insights faster than ever before.

Traditional medicine discovery is notoriously slow, costly, and risky—taking 10-15 years and billions of dollars to bring a single drug to market, with over 90% of candidates failing during clinical trials. These failures often stem from inadequate early-stage data, unforeseen off-target effects, and insufficient molecular specificity. Om's groundbreaking platform directly addresses these critical challenges by preemptively screening entire proteomes against extensive molecular libraries, dramatically accelerating the discovery timeline from months to mere weeks.
