Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing, and RNA sequencing data to find cures faster than ever before.

About us

Envisagenics was founded in 2014 as a spinout of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Our mission is to reduce the complexity of biomedical data to accelerate the development of innovative therapeutic solutions through RNA splicing analytics and artificial intelligence. We focus on the discovery of RNA therapeutics. Over 30 million people in the US suffer from genetic diseases or cancer that could be caused by mutations affecting RNA splicing. 370 human diseases are known to be caused by splicing errors, and more remain to be discovered. Our breakthrough technology, SpliceCore, is a cloud-based platform that is experimentally validated to predict drug targets and biomarkers through splicing discovery from RNA-seq data, using Artificial Intelligence. We are using our software to identify splicing errors causative of diseases, identify the right drug-targets and develop RNA therapeutics through partnerships and collaborations with Biopharma. Our in-silico RNA therapeutics discovery platform replaces expensive drug-target selection and lead design with efficient computer simulations, decreasing time, cost, and failure risk of drug development programs.

    I am excited to share that I was interviewed by Ana B. Nieto from El Pais! Thanks for a great article: "The two Latinos who were working with #artificialintelligence and #RNA long before everyone was talking about it," showcases Envisagenics journey highlighting our pioneering work in #AIDD and #RNAsplicing that ahappens to be a #femaleled and #minority led company in #NYC. Como #Latina y Colombiana me orgullese haber sido entrevistada por Ana del periodico #ElPais! Muchas gracias por mostrar nuestra ciencia y nuestra historia. Martin Akerman, mi equipo y yo nos alegramos de poder seguir adelantando nuestra vision de usar inteligencia artificial y ARN para desarollar curas contra enfermedades! To learn more about our story and to read the full article, check out the post below!"

    Envisagenics is a proud female and minority-led company, so we are thrilled to have our journey recognized in a recent El Pais article by Ana B. Nieto titled, "The two Latinos who were working with artificial intelligence and RNA long before everyone was talking about it." Before AI and RNA became industry buzzwords, our co-founders, Maria Luisa Pineda, PhD. and Martin Akerman, pioneered SpliceCore®, our platform that leverages AI to identify novel RNA therapeutics targets and develops targeted treatments for cancer and other diseases. This year, we marked our tenth anniversary with a celebration at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and are looking forward to the continued development of our pipeline with our recent Series B.

    Intern Spotlight: Meet Lily Aronov! Join us this summer as we learn more about the dedicated interns working at Envisagenics. Today, we are getting to know Lab Research Intern Lily Aronov! Hometown: Brooklyn School: Binghamton University Degree: Integrative Neuroscience Class: 2024 Why intern at Envisagenics: "I heard Dr. Alyssa Fronk speak at a LifeSci NYC event about a year ago, and became very interested in next-generation sequencing, and how it's used to examine gene expression. I've always been fascinated by mechanisms of gene expression, and when I learned about Envisagenics' focus on splicing variants/their role in disease pathology, it seemed like the perfect next step in my academic journey!" What are some of your interests outside of work: "Crocheting, hiking/long walks in nature, dancing with my friends, traveling and exploring new places" What are your plans after completing this internship: "I'd like to work for 1 to 2 years, and then pursue a PhD."
