Cytocast, a TechBio startup based in Budapest, Hungary, accelerates drug discovery by combining bioinformatics, AI, and large‑scale digital‑twin simulations to predict side effects at the start of R&D. Pharma, biotech and CRO teams use the Cytocast technology to de‑risk portfolios earlier and focus resources on safer candidates.
The CYTOCAST DIGITAL TWIN Platform™ models cellular systems to deliver breadth‑first side‑effect profiling for early‑stage small‑molecule programs, including combinations. Proteome‑based simulations reveal how candidates perturb cellular processes and provide actionable evidence to refine chemistries and improve safety. The platform has been validated through pilots with small and mid‑size partners. Currently, the following products are available for the clients’ tailored needs:
- Cytocast Screener™: Rank thousands of compounds by likely side effects to guide early discovery.
 - Cytocast Optimizer™: After in vitro/in vivo, refine leads with comparative safety insights for preclinical decisions.
 - Cytocast Nominator™: In‑depth analyses to support final candidate selection for trials.
 
Cytocast has raised €2.5M pre‑seed to date. We are opening a new €5M seed to expand product capabilities and market reach with the goal of adoption at least 10 top‑100 pharma companies by 2027. Cytocast is a proud member of the Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAIH) and NVIDIA Inception.
