Rosebud Biosciences
ActiveGrowing micro-organs to find new drugs
This company has previously operated under “Rosebud Biosciences Inc.”. A rename frequently marks a pivot in positioning or product — useful raw material for variant ideas.
About
Rosebud Biosciences accelerates drug development by screening drugs against organoids (micro-organs) that have the same gene mutations as the patients. We partner with therapeutics companies to screen their drugs, and we perform our own drug discovery for rare diseases that have no existing treatments. Our organoids are also fetal-like and enable discovery of novel drug targets for pediatric diseases. This technology was validated at Stanford, published in a prestigious journal, and has already led to the discovery of a drug target in a pediatric heart disease that could not have been found using traditional disease models.
