OUR MOTIVATION

only

10%

of cancer patients benefit from approved therapies

95%

of anti-cancer drugs fail to be approved for patients due to lack of efficacy

1B USD

IS THE COST TO DEVELOP EACH ANTI-CANCER DRUG

We are Marie-Agnès Doucey and Riccardo Turrini, co-founders of Calico Biosystems.

We have been educated as scientists, like many of you. Over the years, we have witnessed the critical issue of the limited efficacy of anti-cancer drugs in patients with solid tumors, the huge attrition rate of drugs from the pre-clinical stage to approval for use in patients, and their high development costs.

We want to change the status quo and provide cancer patients with new effective drugs, more potent combinations of therapies, and a real chance to get cured. Together, we have founded Calico Biosystems.

Partner with us to join the revolution of Precision Oncology.
