Rosebud Biosciences

Rosebud Biosciences is a platform therapeutics company that models human disease at scale using organoids (micro-organs) that are derived from patients' cells. We accelerate drug development by screening drugs against our organoids which have the same gene mutations as the patients themselves. Our organoids are also fetal-like and enable discovery of novel drug targets for childhood diseases. This technology was validated at Stanford, published in a prestigious journal, and has already led to the discovery of a drug target in a pediatric heart disease that could not have been found using traditional disease models. With our strong IP, we drive value from our platform by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to screen drugs against our disease models, and by developing our own drugs to treat pediatric diseases that have no existing treatments.
