Cyclica is focused on helping you navigate the drug discovery pipeline by assessing the safety and efficacy of drugs. Whether pre-clinical, clinical, or FDA approved, Cyclica can offer novel insight and analysis into your drugs’ effects using our in-house, drug-centric and structure-based bioinformatics platform.  By focusing on a small molecule structure and its polypharmacological profile, we distinguish ourselves with virtual screening technologies that are specific for a protein structure. We further augment our structural information with cognitive computing to drive our biophysical simulations.  Cyclica’s pre-clinical insights and in silico predictions improve current attrition rates of lead therapeutic compounds, improve patient outcomes with fewer side effects, and breathe life back into shelved therapeutics.
