About Formation Bio Formation Bio is a tech and AI driven pharma company differentiated by radically more efficient drug development.   Advancements in AI and drug discovery are creating more candidate drugs than the industry can progress because of the high cost and time of clinical trials. Recognizing that this development bottleneck may ultimately limit the number of new medicines that can reach patients, Formation Bio, founded in 2016 as TrialSpark Inc., has built technology platforms, processes, and capabilities to accelerate all aspects of drug development and clinical trials. Formation Bio partners, acquires, or in-licenses drugs from pharma companies, research organizations, and biotechs to develop programs past clinical proof of concept and beyond, ultimately helping to bring new medicines to patients. The company is backed by investors across pharma and tech, including a16z, Sequoia, Sanofi, Thrive Capital, John Doerr, Spark Capital, SV Angel Growth, and others.  You can read more at the following links: Our Vision for AI in Pharma Our Current Drug Portfolio Our Technology & Platform At Formation Bio, our values are the driving force behind our mission to revolutionize the pharma industry.
