Relay Therapeutics focuses on drug discovery by emphasizing the movement of proteins in its research. The company uses its Dynamo™ platform, which integrates experimental and computational methods, to identify and develop new drugs, particularly for complex diseases that are hard to treat with traditional approaches. This platform enables Relay to target proteins that have previously been difficult to address, expanding treatment options in areas like precision oncology and genetic diseases. Unlike its competitors, Relay Therapeutics stands out by its strong emphasis on protein motion and its collaborative partnerships, such as its agreement with Genentech, which help validate its technology and provide revenue. The main goal of Relay Therapeutics is to create life-changing medicines for patients, and it is actively conducting clinical trials to ensure the safety and effectiveness of its drug candidates.
