Ongoing support from Sarborg will ensure these systems evolve with Conduit’s needs, driving long-term innovation in areas like IP creation, regulatory strategy, and clinical trial monitoring.
The partnership with Sarborg reinforces Conduit’s commitment to leveraging AI-driven solutions to accelerate growth, deliver value to shareholders, and maintain a competitive edge in the pharmaceutical sector. Conduit remains committed to adopting forward-thinking solutions to stay at the forefront of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry, reducing reliance on traditional, labor intensive methods and harnessing the power of AI-driven technology.
“By incorporating Sarborg’s cutting-edge AI and cybernetics platform, Conduit is taking a bold step forward in revolutionizing our approach to drug development and asset management,” said Dr. David Tapolczay, Chief Executive Officer of Conduit Pharmaceuticals. “This partnership will provide us with a strategic advantage, allowing us to identify and act on opportunities more swiftly and accurately than ever before.”
About Conduit Pharmaceuticals
Conduit is a multi-asset, clinical stage, disease-agnostic life science company delivering an efficient model for compound development. Conduit both acquires and funds the development of Phase 2-ready assets and then seeks an exit through third-party license deals following successful clinical trials. Led by a highly experienced team of pharmaceutical executives including Dr. David Tapolczay and Dr. Freda Lewis-Hall, this novel approach is a departure from the traditional pharma/biotech business model of taking assets through regulatory approval.
