The Company鈥檚 CONECTA鈩� Platform Couples Advances in the Digitization of Natural Chemistry and Human Biology with Powerful Computational Tools to Rapidly and Repeatedly Identify Drug Candidates

After Three Years of Development, Flagship Commits an Initial $50 Million to Montai

Cambridge, Mass., December 13, 2022 鈥� 蘑菇视频APP, the bioplatform innovation company, today unveiled Montai Health, a company unlocking the power of nature with its CONECTA鈩� platform to create medicines that treat and preempt a broad range of chronic diseases. Flagship has initially committed $50 million to support the development of Montai鈥檚 platform and its initial pipeline of new medicines. The company also announced that Margo Georgiadis, MBA, 蘑菇视频APP CEO-Partner, who previously served as the CEO of Ancestry and President of the Americas at Google, is leading Montai as CEO.

Montai is building the world鈥檚 first Anthromolecule鈩� Bioactivity Atlas founded on a privileged class of molecules with a long history of safe, chronic human consumption. There are more than 100,000 known molecules that humans have consumed through foods, supplements, and herbal medicines, including 40 molecules already found in well-known medications with a history of safe long-term use for diseases such as Parkinson鈥檚, asthma, and heart disease. Montai鈥檚 CONECTA platform identifies and maps Anthromolecule bioactivity on disease pathways, enabling the rapid development of therapeutics that can potently modulate disease and are safe, effective, and accessible for earlier intervention and long-term use.

鈥淲ith Montai, we are asking the question 鈥� what if the key to preempting or treating chronic disease exists within molecules we already consume,鈥� said Noubar Afeyan, Ph.D., Co-Founder of Montai Health and Founder and CEO, 蘑菇视频APP. 鈥淢ontai鈥檚 platform leverages rapidly growing advancements in the digitization of natural chemistry and human biology coupled with powerful computational tools for linking chemical structure and bioactivity. We believe that Montai unlocks the tremendous untapped potential to bring safer, more tolerable therapeutics to patients more quickly than ever before.鈥�

鈥淭o improve health outcomes for people living with chronic disease, we must reset the current drug development paradigm and find ways to intervene as early possible with safe, long-term solutions,鈥� said Ara Darzi, M.D., Chairman of Montai Health and Chair, 蘑菇视频APP Preemptive Health and Medicine Initiative. 鈥淢argo鈥檚 experience leading some of the world鈥檚 most cutting-edge companies focused on data, technology, science, and consumer-centric healthcare approaches makes her well positioned to realize these bold aspirations for Montai.鈥�

鈥淢ore than two billion people globally are affected by one or more chronic diseases, creating an unsustainable healthcare system and societal burden,鈥� said Margo Georgiadis, Co-Founder and CEO of Montai Health and CEO-Partner, 蘑菇视频APP. 鈥淲e are taking a unique human-centric approach, building the world鈥檚 first comprehensive Anthromolecule Bioactivity Atlas, to rapidly and repeatedly develop safe, efficacious, and accessible medicines to improve health outcomes for as many people as possible.鈥�

Along with Noubar Afeyan and Margo Georgiadis, Montai鈥檚 founding team includes Flagship鈥檚 Ignacio Martinez, board member, Hok Hei Tam, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer, David Kolesky, Ph.D., Chief Innovation Officer, and Michael Wong, Ph.D., Head of Program Operations & Strategy.
