BDTX

Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc.

An oncology drug developer, Black Diamond Therapeutics makes small-molecule medicines that treat whole 'families' of cancer-causing mutations with a single therapy, rather than one mutation at a time. Its lead experimental drug, BDTX-1535, can cross the blood-brain barrier to reach hard-to-treat brain tumors like glioblastoma. Co-founded in 2016 by scientists David Epstein and Elizabeth Buck, the company began as ASET Therapeutics before taking the Black Diamond name — a rebrand with no public origin story.
