🔮 Less than 5% of new cancer drugs successfully make it through clinical trials. Clearly, new methods are needed to transform oncology research and improve patient care. Orakl Oncology is a techbio startup accelerating drug discovery and development through innovative tumor avatars. The company was established in 2023 as a spin-out from Gustave-Roussy, a leading European cancer research institute based on 10 years of research by Orakl’s CEO, Dr. Fanny Jaulin, and her laboratory.
🧪 Orakl Oncology is pioneering the use of its patient tumor avatar technology to anticipate clinical trial outcomes. We create an avatar for each patient’s tumor, combining clinical and molecular data alongside proprietary organoids, at scale, and predict patient response in the clinic. Powered by lab automation and machine learning, we discover and validate new targets, drugs, and predictive biomarkers. The VC-backed company is growing fast, and we are now seeking the best talents to come and join our exciting and ambitious team in the fight against cancer!
