Their story
During his PhD, Akpéli Nordor, co-founder & CEO, identified a key paradox in pharma research: despite abundant public data, much remains underused. Recognizing that data collection is costly and time-intensive, he saw immense potential in these 'secondary' datasets, despite their poor structure and variability.
Epigene Labs was founded to harness readily available data to transform cancer research and drug development. Through our innovative platform, mCUBE, we have designed a solution that significantly shortens the typically long and costly R&D phase. Our goal is to speed up treatment development, making healthcare more accessible and bringing innovative cancer drugs to market faster.
