Digital twins of the living heart for real-time personalized heart failure therapy

CorSilico builds personalized heart digital twins from a standard blood draw. Our foundation model maps circulating cell-free RNA and DNA back to the source cells driving injury.

Cardiology suffers from a massive diagnostic blind spot

A diverse group of patients of different ages, including a child, an older person with a cane, and a wheelchair user

Heart failure drives hundreds of billions in annual global healthcare costs

The cost reflects a lack of precision targeted therapies that intervene before irreversible damage.

Every patient has a unique disease signature

Diverse comorbidities create different populations of invasive cells that cause damage in each patient.

Living human hearts cannot be safely biopsied

Ultrasound and MRI detect historical damage after irreversible scarring has occurred. The cellular drivers remain hidden.

Untargeted therapeutics fail to cure complex heart failure

A complete fishing net catching many different fish, representing broad targeting of harmful and protective cells

Net fishing all cells does not work

Recent high-profile clinical trial failures show that broad targeting of disease-causing and protective cells leads to clinical failure.

A fishing spear targets a single fish among others, representing precise targeting of disease-causing cell subsets

Precision requires the right cells, the right patient, and the right time

Without precisely targeting the damage-causing cell subsets, multi-million-dollar assets cannot match the right patient to the right drug at the correct time.

Our award-winning science: Specific cell subpopulations dictate heart injury

Immune cells and stromal fibroblasts between viable cardiomyocytes in injured myocardium

Our preclinical work discovered the cell subpopulations damaging the heart and mapped their spatial microenvironments. This spatial arrangement dictates disease trajectory and therapy response.

06 / Commercialization

Phased commercialization eradicates
clinical risk while capturing venture upside.

Commercialization begins with retrospective patient stratification for stalled heart-failure trials, followed by clinical theranostics licensing and therapeutic IP out-licensing.

PHASE 1 / COMPANION DIAGNOSTICS
$75M–$150M

Identify responders in stalled heart-failure trials

Near-term serviceable revenue from retrospectively stratifying just 5–10 stalled heart-failure trials. Identify the patients most likely to respond to targeted assets.

PHASE 2 / THERANOSTICS LICENSING
$213M–$1.06B+

License a clinical theranostics platform

Annual recurring revenue opportunity at a $15,000 diagnostic price, reaching 0.1%–0.5% of 13.2M+ eligible US patients. Preventing a 30-day readmission exceeding $27K per event underpins the value proposition.

PHASE 3 / THERAPEUTIC IP OUT-LICENSING
$4B+

Out-license therapeutic targets to biopharma

Big Pharma partnerships shift clinical-trial execution to the partner. Precedent precision-therapy deals: $160M–$185M upfront, up to $4B+ in staggered pre-commercial milestones, and 12%–17% tiered royalties.

07 / Why now

Our in-house spatial-omics platform
shatters the data-generation bottleneck.

A multi-hundred-sample foundation AI model became economically possible for the first time.

Commercial platforms can cost up to $5,000 per tissue cross section. Our in-house spatial transcriptomics platform is designed to deliver high-definition tissue profiles at 15% of commercial cost—unlocking the scale a foundation model needs.

Proprietary spatial transcriptomics and foundation model

Proprietary in-house spatial transcriptomics, the heart-failure foundation model, and a deconvolution pipeline designed to capture unstable, low-abundance circulating fragments.

Each digital twin improves the model

Every new digital twin improves the model. More paired data enables better mapping, attracting more partners and patients—and generating more data.

Proprietary training data and deconvolution pipelines

Proprietary architectures, training data, and deconvolution pipelines. Years of wet-lab R&D and tissue-handling expertise encode knowledge that cannot be copied from a dataset.
