Transforming nature into new medicines

Viswa Colluru, CEO and Founder of Enveda Biosciences

2 min read

Between a third and a half of approved small molecule therapeutics are derived from natural sources, but only a small proportion of the natural compounds have been identified and screened.
That is, until now. India-based business, Enveda Biosciences, is mapping nature's chemistry and enabling the healthcare industry to rapidly discover, develop and deliver new drugs. The company is delivering hope to millions of people suffering from complex diseases.
The company's platform is fast becoming a global search engine for new medicines. The platform uses advanced technologies to capture and catalog chemicals, creating a diverse and searchable dataset of small molecules for scientists seeking new treatments.
Before founding Enveda Biosciences, Viswa Colluru led multiple drug developments at Recursion Pharmaceuticals. He earned his PhD in immuno-oncology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he developed therapies for prostate cancer.
