Recursion and Genentech Plan Co-Development After AI-Validated Neuro Target
Recursion and Genentech will co-develop a neuroscience small-molecule early discovery program using an AI map’s first validated target. Genentech exercised the collaboration’s first target option after receiving Recursion’s validation package. Recursion can earn up to $300M per program plus tiered royalties, though target validation took 15 months. The approach aims to expand neurology treatments beyond familiar targets despite low Phase I-to-approval rates.
