Partnership
Partnership
Valo has a dual approach to therapeutic discovery. We advance our own pipeline of assets, while partnering with pharmaceutical companies to accelerate pre-clinical R&D.
Reduce biological risk early
We aim to de-risk human causal biology early in drug discovery by understanding patient-disease trajectories that reveal real world heterogeneity. We can identify and validate novel druggable targets mapped to patient need.
Powerful blend of expertise
At the heart of our approach is deep integration across disciplines. Our teams work at the intersection of biology, chemistry and engineering, creating an interconnected R&D engine designed to turn patient insights into new medicines.
Collaborating with aligned incentives
We advance early-stage R&D to spark innovation, while our partners lead clinical development to deliver therapies to patients. By retaining royalties and using success-based economics, we foster shared risk and reward collaborations with aligned incentives.
Our Partners
- Initial agreement signed in 2023 to develop novel treatments for cardiometabolic disease.
- Agreement expanded in early 2025 to develop up to twenty drug programs in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
- Collaborating with The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Targets to Therapies Initiative, which aims to expand the number of promising druggable biological targets in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
- Research is focused on advancing our understanding of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 2 (NOD2), which was recently found to be associated with increased risk of PD.
- Agreement signed in 2025 to develop novel treatments for Parkinson’s Disease.
- Expansion leverages Valo's internal platform insights in neurodegenerative disease.
- Partnership with Charles River Labs and Pioneering Medicines aimed at developing novel small molecule for Lupus
- Partnership with Valo, Charles River Labs, Pioneering Medicines and Pfizer to discover potential novel, selective inhibitors for autoimmune disease
- Partnership with Valo, Charles River Labs and Lundbeck to discover novel drugs for neurological disease
Partner with us
We unite biology, chemistry and engineering into a powerful R&D engine that redefines drug discovery.
