Founded in 2021, Serna Bio leverages the convergence of synthetic biology, machine learning (ML), and massively multiplex screening to tackle the historical challenges of drugging the RNA universe. </p><p style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"> Our core innovation lies in the Serna Discovery Platform, which systematically maps RNA structures to a vast chemical universe, generating large proprietary datasets. The platform incorporates both experimental wet lab and AI capabilities. We use our platform to tackle undruggable targets and novel biology inaccessible by classical drug discovery. </p><div style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"> The Values You’ll Share </div><ul style="margin: 15px 0 15px 0; padding: 0 0 0 20px"><li style="margin-bottom: 5px"> The Data Decides: The future of drug discovery will be computationally led.

The data rules. </li></ul><p style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"></p><ul style="margin: 15px 0 15px 0; padding: 0 0 0 20px"><li style="margin-bottom: 5px"> Unapologetic ambition: The work we do matters. We maximise its value by striving to make the biggest impact, fastest. We don’t take the easy path, or wait for lower risk. We show up with a plan. We define what victory looks like. We make our time count. </li></ul><p style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"></p><ul style="margin: 15px 0 15px 0; padding: 0 0 0 20px"><li style="margin-bottom: 5px"> We don’t rely on experience, we run the experiment: We are humble in the face of work that has never been done before. We never default to experience.
