Nearly 45% of all deaths in the industrialized world are attributable to diseases of fibrosis. They include not only the pulmonary fibroses (IPF, ILD) but also liver cirrhosis, most forms of chronic kidney disease, and scleroderma.

Fibrocor’s approach to drug discovery program centers on patient-derived tissue samples to identify and drug critical pathways in the fibrogenic process.
Our patient-derived target discovery platform leverages one of the largest patient-derived clinically annotated biorepositories of fibrotic tissue, enabling the identification of novel disease targets and the development of a robust pipeline of first-in-class therapeutics.
In diseases of fibrosis, excessive scar tissue formation disrupts normal organ function leading to impairment and eventually failure. Recognizing the severity, and unmet need, Fibrocor Therapeutics confronts the challenges by combining its patient-derived target discovery platform with world-leading medicinal chemistry capabilities.
Poor Late-stage prognosis
Disease Heterogeneity
Limited treatment options
Targeting Fibrosis with Patients at the Core
Patient-Derived Disease driven Insights at the Heart of Innovation:
One of our key differentiators comprises exclusive access to one of the world’s largest fibrosis tissue biobanks containing kidney, liver, and lung biopsies. These biobanks are connected to best-in-class longitudinal medical records, providing Fibrocor with invaluable patient information for research and development. Focused on this comprehensive data, we gained deep insights into the underlying mechanisms of fibrosis to make significant strides in the field. Our exceptional drug candidates have progressed seamlessly into the pre-clinical assessment, paving the way for transformative advancements in fibrosis treatment.
