Eikon Therapeutics is a biotechnology company that advances breakthrough therapeutics through the purposeful integration of science and engineering. The company has built a proprietary discovery platform that combines high‑resolution structural and single‑particle imaging (including cryo‑EM), automated experimental engineering, and computational/AI methods to map protein conformational landscapes and identify novel small‑molecule modulators. That platform is used to accelerate target identification, structure‑enabled design, and lead optimization across multiple therapeutic areas through internal programs and external partnerships. Headquartered in Cambridge, MA, Eikon emphasizes an engineering‑first approach to tackle challenging protein targets and shorten drug discovery timelines.
