Our work is driven by a passion for helping provide patients with hard-to-treat cancers access to the right medicines. Our commitment to innovation is inspired above all else by our dedication to our patients, their families, our employees, and the communities that we serve. These principles have led us to unprecedented breakthroughs that can help facilitate longer, healthier lives for our patients, so that they can spend less time thinking about cancer and more time enjoying life.

History
Fore Bio was founded in 2011 as NovellusDx. The Novellus founders leveraged deep experience in synthetic biology, bioinformatics and drug development to formulate an algorithm that could identify and functionally classify rare cancer-driving mutations. Over the next several years, Novellus’s founders in Jerusalem continued to iterate on this technology and expand its capabilities. The current Fore leadership team saw this powerful functional genomics platform as an opportunity to match patients with these rare mutations to clinically validated therapies. It is a completely novel approach to precision cancer drug development that can both treat rarer, unaddressed cancer mutations and potentially accelerate bringing new medicines to market.
In early 2021, Novellus completed this transformation by rebranding as Fore Biotherapeutics, honoring the company’s new forward-thinking mindset to in-license experimental therapies and advance them for patient use. In May 2021, Fore continued this progress by establishing its global headquarters in the US, where we continue to grow our team.
Fore’s history will continue to evolve as we expand our team and add new therapies to our pipeline. If you’re interested in joining our efforts to develop a new paradigm of targeted oncology treatment, learn more about our team below.
