Programs
Our programs are organized around biological choke points

Structurally conserved, functionally essential mechanisms that drive diseases across multiple therapeutic areas and indications.
biological choke points
Why Choke Points?
Conventional drug discovery organizes around indications: one disease, one program, one molecule, one development arc.
Model Medicines engineers first-in-category, pipeline-in-a-pill therapeutics against biological choke points. These biological choke points represent targets that are structurally conserved, functionally essential, disease-driving, and offer multi-indication impact.
Our work demonstrates how large-scale computation can uncover entirely new classes of drugs once thought unreachable.
What makes a choke point?

the viral choke point
RdRp Thumb-1
A cryptic allosteric pocket on viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, conserved across single-stranded RNA virus families.
Program Status
MDL-001 is advancing through IND-enabling studies toward a targeted IND submission in late 2026.
the transcriptional choke point
BRD4
A transcriptional master regulator at the center of super-enhancer biology, conserved across oncology, fibrosis, immunology, and cardiovascular disease.
Program Status
MDL-4102 is progressing through IND-enabling studies toward a targeted IND submission in 2027.
