About Delphia Therapeutics

Delphia Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pioneering "activation lethality," a next-generation precision medicine approach that targets cancer's surprising vulnerability to oncogene overactivation. Rather than inhibiting cancer-driving pathways, the company selectively over-activates them to destroy tumor cells, advancing first-in-class targeted cancer medicines designed to be effective while combating the emergence of drug resistance. The company's platform integrates tumor genetics, novel functional genomics, and resistance biology to identify and develop differentiated oncology therapeutics.
