# Gordian Biotechnology

> Gordian Biotechnology is a South San Francisco in vivo drug discovery company building a high-throughput screening platform that tests hundreds of gene therapies simultaneously inside animals that naturally develop age-related diseases. By pairing 'patient avatar' models with single-cell transcriptomics and machine learning (a stack the company calls Mosaic Screening + Pythia), Gordian aims to predict human clinical outcomes earlier and cure complex diseases of aging.

- **Founded:** 2018
- **Headquarters:** South San Francisco, United States
- **Founders:** Francisco LePort (Co-founder & CEO), Martin Borch Jensen (Co-founder & Chief Scientific Officer)
- **Team size:** ~40

- **Notable:** Closed $60M financing announced April 2024., Publicly introduced the Mosaic Screening + Pythia in vivo discovery platform in 2024., Built a scientist-heavy team of around 40 in South San Francisco.

## Products & services

- **Mosaic Screening** — A high-throughput in vivo platform that tests hundreds of gene therapies in parallel inside single animals that naturally develop age-related diseases.
- **Patient Avatars** — Animal models that spontaneously acquire complex age-related conditions, used as biological proxies for human patients.
- **Pythia** — A transcriptome-analysis system that uses single-cell sequencing and machine learning to read out how each tested therapy alters cellular pathways.

## Achievements

- Closed $60M financing announced April 2024.
- Publicly introduced the Mosaic Screening + Pythia in vivo discovery platform in 2024.
- Built a scientist-heavy team of around 40 in South San Francisco.
