Translating Bat Biology into Promising Therapies

Unlocking the Secrets of Bats: With over 65 million years of evolutionary resilience, bats have evolved extraordinary adaptations that allow them to thrive in extreme environments, reduce inflammation, tolerate viruses, and exhibit impressive longevity. With 95-97% genomic similarity to humans, Paratus discovered that bats provide an untapped model for studying the biological mechanisms of human disease – holding unique evolutionary traits that offer insights into key health challenges related to inflammation, metabolism, and immune function.
Integrated Discovery Platform: Leveraging one of the largest collections of bat genomes and tissue samples, Paratus’ platform combines cutting-edge genomics and bioinformatics to rapidly identify novel therapeutic targets for challenging disease areas with large unmet need.
Leveraging Global Expertise: Paratus brings together the brightest minds from both Singapore and the US to translate bat biology findings into drug discovery and development. By tapping into the expertise of leading researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders across two continents, Paratus fosters a dynamic, cross-border team that accelerates the development of next-generation therapies.
