Sage Bionetworks and AZ Sign Cancer Deal

Bionetworks and AstraZeneca have initiated a collaboration to make new insights into some cancers using advanced computational models of disease genetics.

Seattle-based Sage Bionetworks and AstraZeneca will collaborate to investigate certain cancers using advanced computational models of disease genetics. The goal is to better match patients with appropriate treatments that might also lead to new cancer therapeutics.

The partnership will leverage Sage Bionetworks’ expertise in computer models of disease genetics with AstraZeneca’s oncology expertise, including access to data on AstraZeneca’s compounds. The focus is to provide data-driven rationales for prioritizing therapeutic targets for developing new insights to improve cancer treatments, as well as potentially helping to identify cancer patient subpopulations
