“We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Glympse Bio to help inform our NASH development program,” said Mani Subramanian, MD, PhD Senior Vice President, Liver Diseases, Gilead Sciences. “By utilizing this innovative technology, we hope to better characterize this complex disease and improve our understanding of how our compounds impact disease progression.”

Glympse Bio’s proprietary technology, Glympse Inside, combines synthetic biomarkers with machine learning approaches to identify the stage and monitor progression of important, complex diseases such as cancer, fibrosis, inflammation, and infections, in real time.

“We are very excited about partnering with Gilead, a leader in drug development, to help drive earlier and more favorable outcomes for patients,” said Caroline J Loew, President and CEO, Glympse Bio. “Gilead’s commitment to developing innovative medicines in areas of high unmet medical need aligns with our mission of transforming disease detection and measuring treatment response, all with the goal of helping improve the lives of patients.”

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Glympse Bio is pioneering the development of disruptive, non-invasive technology to directly query disease activity inside the body. The Company’s proprietary synthetic biomarkers – biological sensors developed using breakthroughs in science, engineering, medicine and artificial intelligence – are potentially tunable to a multitude of diseases and offer earlier measures of response to disease and treatment.

By integrating real-time biological activity with sophisticated machine learning and artificial intelligence, Glympse Inside™ is a pan-disease product engine that aims to transform disease monitoring and treatment response.

Gilead Sciences is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative therapeutics in areas of unmet medical need. The company’s mission is to advance the care of patients suffering from life-threatening diseases. Gilead has operations in more than 35 countries worldwide, with headquarters in Foster City, California.
