WHY WE EXIST

Ochre exists to end the need for liver transplants.

1.5m people globally die of liver disease. For the vast majority of these, the only curative treatment option is a liver transplant. With just over 40k transplants done globally annually, this is a medical lottery. This is what Ochre exists to change.

HOW WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY

Human Discovery Platform

We’ve invested over $20m to build the most comprehensive human liver data sets. By integrating gene perturbation atlases with patient disease atlases, we make causal predictions about new drug targets.

Human Validation Platform

By combining AI with human validation models such as perfused livers, diseased tissue slices and primary cells, we model biological complexity at scale.

RNA Platform

We make our own RNA therapies in house, reducing R&D cycle times from years to weeks. We believe having a strong RNA modality focus improves our chances of clinical success.
