Caris Discovery
Unlock truly novel targets for your discovery pipeline
Caris has the tools and data to help you identify, develop and commercialize your next oncology targets.
Despite transformational breakthroughs in our understanding of disease, drug development has focused on a redundant, limited number of targets. Caris Discovery is an indication and modality-agnostic discovery engine which aims to identify and validate novel targets for therapeutic development using a portfolio of innovative tools and technologies:
- Interrogation of primary patient tissue
- Proprietary aptamer-based proteomic profiling platform (ADAPT)
- Unparalleled in silico analysis
- Cutting-edge research experimentation at Caris’ dedicated 59,000 square foot research lab
Harness the power of tissue-based discovery platforms and state-of-the art lab technologies to advance the next wave of therapeutics.

“Caris Discovery is uncovering novel unexplored targets in patient populations where precision therapeutics have yet to be developed.”
