Find new targets. Predict the best patients. And know how well new drugs will work, before they’re tested in humans. Applying transomic technology that uses functional data, Pepper develops treatments for diseases once thought to be untreatable — until now.
The Pepper platform drives more informed drug discovery and development, enabling us to create our own cures for highly aggressive cancers. See how our new techbio approach combines technology and biology to empower a new age of patient health.
Pepper has produced concrete results: proofs of concept across three therapeutic areas powering better drug discovery.

Pre-clinical discovery in untreatable cancers to create a proprietary disease database using transomic data.
Capture the full picture of disease biology and drug mechanism with global omic data.
See the reality of biological processes thanks to proteomic and phosphoproteomic data.
Understand actual drivers — not just correlation — with Pepper’s integrated analysis.
Our platform is the first to use a truly transomic analysis — integrating phosphoproteomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and genomics. This whole-stack solution to common drug discovery challenges reveals actionable insights others miss.
