About

What if we could defeat disease?

The power of protein degradation is now being realized. This innate cellular process is responsible for maintaining protein homeostasis, and we are now exploiting it to break down the proteins that cause disease.

The protein degradation opportunity is immense and reaches across a broad range of disease areas in which new and enhanced treatments are needed. Development of the best, most effective medicines for patients requires extensive biology insight, medicinal chemistry experience, drug discovery expertise and cutting-edge computational tools such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Enter Proteovant Therapeutics

Proteovant is leveraging targeted protein degradation to discover and develop transformative medicines for the treatment of patients with life-altering diseases.

We are pursuing this expansive field with speed, scale and intention. Proteovant integrates its foundational degrader portfolio, extensive internal drug hunting expertise, and VantAI’s proprietary ‘Protein Contact First’ deep learning platform to advance novel protein degraders across a range of therapeutic areas. The acquisition of Oncopia Therapeutics in 2020 provided access to sophisticated degrader design capabilities and a robust patented pipeline.

Additionally, we have the strong backing and life sciences expertise of our lead investor, Roivant Sciences.

Leadership Team

Our team possesses the scientific knowledge, business acumen and risk-tolerance required to unlock the potential of this promising field of science and deliver transformational therapies for patients.
