NeoTX announced today the acquisition of InterX. InterX is a drug discovery company utilizing advanced proprietary tools of biomolecular computation for the discovery and design of novel therapeutic molecules based on Nobel Prize Laureate Prof Michael Levitt’s discoveries. These tools allow a detailed quantum mechanical process assessment of biochemical interactions resulting in faster, more accurate, and efficient drug discovery. In addition to the discovery engine, this acquisition also comes with a pipeline of early drugs.
“We are excited to be expanding NeoTX capabilities to include a suite of proprietary drug discovery technologies. InterX is a world-class team that includes three Nobel Laureates who have developed technologies that have the potential to increase the speed of drug discovery. These technologies augment traditional Computer-Assisted Drug Discovery (CADD) and are designed to replace much of the typical synthesis and testing cycles that are needed after obtaining results from the traditional CADD process, while potentially saving three-plus years of the typical drug discovery timeline” said CEO, Asher Nathan.
“InterX’s technology is the most advanced in the industry, and when combined with the development expertise of NeoTX, we will be able to advance best-in-class drug candidates, increase the value of our pipeline, and strive to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life within society,” said Nobel Prize Laureate Prof. Roger Kornberg, Chief Scientist of NeoTX and cofounder of InterX. InterX will benefit from the experience and infrastructure of NeoTX while maintaining a culture of innovation and creativity. Post-merger, Prof. Kornberg has also assumed the role of Chairman of the Board of NeoTX.
