Private Company
Total funding raised: $1.5M
Overview
JLP Health is a private, pre-clinical stage biotech leveraging a unique forward genetic screening platform to deconvolute drug mechanisms of action and identify novel targets, particularly from natural compounds like Artemisinin. Its lead program is a novel combinatorial therapy for glioblastoma, with clinical trials targeted for 2026, and it has also contributed to research on Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever. The company employs a hybrid business model of internal therapeutic development and platform services through its affiliates, Acus Laboratories in Germany and Angal Biotechnology in China, supported by seed investment from business angels.

Competitive Landscape
JLP Health competes with numerous biotechnology companies offering drug discovery platforms (e.g., CRISPR screening, AI/ML target ID) and biopharmas focused on glioblastoma. Its differentiation lies in the single amino acid resolution of its ACUS haploid screening technology and its unique integration of traditional medicine insights with modern genetics.
