Nucleome Therapeutics (“Nucleome” or “the Company”), a biotechnology firm leveraging 3D genomics to develop precision medicines for complex diseases, announced today a new research partnership with Johnson & Johnson*.
As part of the collaboration, Nucleome will apply its proprietary machine learning and high-resolution 3D genomics technologies to pinpoint specific DNA variations that increase susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. The research will also focus on uncovering the underlying pathological mechanisms driving these conditions.
By combining Nucleome’s advanced genomic platform with Johnson & Johnson’s expertise in immunology and data science, the partnership aims to identify new therapeutic target genes and the key cell types involved in autoimmune diseases. This insight could enable more precise patient classification, helping to identify those most likely to benefit from targeted treatments.
Dr. Stephen Harrison, Chief Scientific Officer of Nucleome, commented: “We are excited to collaborate with J&J to uncover new therapeutic targets and improve patient stratification strategies in autoimmune disease. Our unique technology allows us to explore how genetic variations impact gene function and contribute to disease by pinpointing the critical genes and cell types involved.”
