About

Hyku is a biotechnology company based in the greater Boston area, utilizing its proprietary discovery platform to inhibit disease targets that are challenging to address with conventional approaches. Hyku’s drug discovery engine is based on its proprietary platform technologies, which identify histidine, tyrosine and lysine-based binding pockets and enable rational drug design for the development of covalent or non-covalent medicines. The platform pioneered by Hyku has the potential to fundamentally expand the scope of small molecule drug discovery, greatly increase the potential to modulate many target classes, and bring significant therapeutic benefits to patients via first-in-class and best-in-class medicines.
