Gate Bioscience is a preclinical biotechnology company creating a new class of medicines called Molecular Gates. Molecular Gates are small molecule drugs that selectively eliminate harmful extracellular proteins at their origin: inside the cell. 

Humans produce over 4,000 distinct extracellular proteins, more than 1,000 of which can drive disease when they act improperly, misfold, or are made at the wrong time, in the wrong place, or at incorrect levels. By eliminating these disease-causing proteins, we aim to eliminate diseases for patients.

Molecular Gates act by a completely new therapeutic mechanism. All extracellular proteins pass through single channel in the cell as they are secreted into the body. Molecular Gates bind to this channel, setting up a “gate” that recognizes and blocks a specific, disease-causing protein from exiting. With nowhere to go, the harmful protein is degraded by the cell instead of being secreted.

Our mission to create Molecular Gate medicines is backed by Versant Ventures, a16z Bio + Health, ARCH Venture Partners, and GV. Learn more at www.gatebio.com.

As 2023 draws to a close, we're reflecting on the last 365 days of Gate Bioscience. We're proud of everything our exceptional team has accomplished, and we're profoundly grateful for everyone who's been a part of our journey so far. 

Thank you to all our employees, partners, collaborators, advisors, and investors who have contributed to Gate's momentum this year—and may your 2024 be full of exciting science, discoveries, and growth!

Tune into the Bio Eats World podcast to hear our CEO and cofounder Jordi Mata-Fink talk with Vineeta Agarwala, MD PhD and Ben Portney from a16z Bio + Health about Gate Bioscience and building a novel scientific platform. 

They get geeky about:

 🔬 Extracellular proteins and how they cause diseases
 💊 Why small molecules rock (or, as Vineeta calls them, "the OGs of our therapeutic arsenal")
 🤝 Bringing together the right team
 🚀 The power of a platform in drug discovery
 🍗 Gate's "barbecue of discovery"
