Who we are
Dedicated to making medicine
Arpeggio is a team of computer scientists, biologists, and entrepreneurs using functional genomics to find new therapeutic targets for hard to treat diseases like cancer. We believe that building tomorrow’s medicines will require an integrated perspective that combines ideas and methods from disparate scientific fields. Our team and the work we do directly reflects this multidisciplinary approach.
