Orakl Oncology · Villejuif
About Orakl Oncology Every cancer patient deserves a treatment that works for them. Today, too many never get one in time: fewer than 5% of new cancer drugs make it through clinical trials and every failure costs patients years. Orakl exists to change those odds. We bridge biological and artificial intelligence by building large cohorts of virtual cancer patients: real patients’ tumors, paired with their medical history and deep biological data. Because we can test treatments on these virtual patients at scale, we can predict, with causal evidence, how a patient will respond to a drug long before it reaches the clinic. This helps pharma companies bet on the right drugs, for the right patients, much earlier on. We were founded in 2023 by Fanny Jaulin, PhD, Diane-Laure Pagès and Gustave Ronteix, PhD as a spin-out from Gustave Roussy, one of Europe’s leading cancer centers, and we build on 10 years of research. We are backed by top international VCs and growing fast. Discover more here on Orakl’s website .
