“Our North Star is always going to be about developing therapeutics for people with high unmet needs who are suffering, “ said Ventus Chief Scientific Officer, Michael Crackower, on the most recent episode of Raising Health podcast. Dr. Crackower and Jason Burch joined Vineeta Agarwala, MD PhD, an a16z general partner, on Raising Health to discuss Ventus’ unique approach to #drugdiscovery through the power of water dynamics and our ReSOLVE™ platform.

How can we identify previously undiscovered druggable protein pockets to design novel small molecule drugs? Michael Crackower, Chief Scientific Officer at Ventus Therapeutics, and Jason Burch believe the secret lies with water. Ventus' ReSOLVE platform incorporates dynamic water modeling into molecular dynamics simulations empowering their expert drug hunters to find new targets and design better small molecule drugs. The approach has led to a rare accomplishment - 3 clinical trials initiated within one year. Recently, Mike and Jason joined Vineeta Agarwala, MD PhD, a16z general partner, to discuss how this technology works and its potential impact in our industry.
