HTG Molecular Diagnostics, Inc. announced that its management team will present the advantages of its proprietary drug discovery engine at the 2023 Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) International Convention and will host in-person meetings during the remaining days of the June 5 - 8, 2023 event in Boston, MA. HTG is pioneering a proprietary platform-based approach that is designed to help improve drug discovery, referred to as transcriptome-informed drug discovery and design. HTG's objective is to develop best-in-class molecules for the treatment of diseases, with the ability to apply its platform agnostically across therapy areas.

At the center of this approach is HTG's proprietary RNA profiling technologies, functionally married with an advanced medicinal chemistry using a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform, allowing for the improved selection and design of molecules. The company's most advanced discovery programs are in oncology with an emphasis on the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with the first molecules currently progressing through the remaining portion of lead optimization and expected to have sufficient data to support entry into preclinical development in the third quarter of 2023.
