RIME Therapeutics
Montreal, Canada
RIME Therapeutics is a Montreal biotechnology company developing an AI-assisted drug-discovery platform. Its function-first Disruptide platform uses AI-designed peptide probes to screen intracellular protein pockets in primary human cells. The approach links changes in disease-relevant cell biology to specific targets while generating binding and structure-activity data to guide subsequent drug chemistry. RIME combines human genetics, perturbation biology and machine learning to identify potential new therapeutic programs, initially including inflammation and immunology. Its published work is at the discovery-platform stage; it has not disclosed an approved medicine.
