Making Serendipitous Discoveries Accessible to Everyone

Before founding Serengen, we worked as medicinal chemists for more than 20 years, where we have taken many compounds from screening to lead optimisation to candidate selection.

During this time, we encountered significant challenges in early drug discovery: The time-consuming and costly hit identification via high-throughput screening and the poor hit quality of DNA-encoded library technology which leads to costly and time-consuming hit follow-up. These are tremendous obstacles, especially for small companies, which are the main drivers of innovation in drug discovery today. Finding a way out was our inspiration to design a new solution. We have developed an entirely new approach to the fastest and most cost-efficient hit identification that allows for serendipity and delivers high-quality hits. Serengen was founded in 2019 to make serendipitous discoveries accessible to everyone!
OUR MISSION

Making hit identification and lead generation fast, economical and serendipitous discoveries accessible to everyone.

OUR VISION

We are committed to democratising drug discovery so that anyone who is striving to develop breakthrough therapeutics can afford the best possible chemical starting point.

“Serendipity” is often misunderstood as a synonym for luck, implying that the probability of serendipitous discoveries increases linearly with the number of compounds screened. Serendipity means more. As Louis Pasteur said: „Chance favours only the prepared mind.” At Serengen, we are prepared! Our “design” combines in-depth knowledge with large numbers to increase the probability of serendipitous discoveries.
