Transforming the discovery of novel GPCR-targeted therapies
The Himalayas are the result of an ongoing, 50 million year-long collision between the Indian and Eurasian Tectonic Plates. As tectonic movements on the Earth’s surface affect the planet, GPCR interactions represent surface events that have profound effects on cell responses.

Our Science
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are central to human biology and are the target of ~1/3 of all approved drugs. GPCRs remain a large untapped opportunity as many receptors remain unexplored or are undruggable by small molecules. A biologic approach will address major challenges by increasing specificity and by facilitating the targeting of GPCRs whose natural ligands are peptides or proteins.
Tectonic has unparalleled expertise in the biochemistry and biophysics of GPCRs, and the knowledge and experience to translate basic research in this field into novel therapies. Our GEODe™ platform overcomes the challenges encountered to date in GPCR biologic discovery campaigns, enabling the advancement of novel GPCR-targeting therapies.

At Tectonic we are motivated by a “speak-up culture” where divergent perspectives are shared openly, respectfully, and fearlessly. We understand that we can learn from both triumphs and setbacks and that breakthroughs are often the result of the most unexpected insights.
We believe a shared commitment to excellence and creativity is what makes meaningful scientific and medical advances possible. We work hard yet find time to laugh together as we drive toward achieving a common goal-improving human health. We collaborate because we recognize the urgent need for new therapies and that teams score more goals than individuals. We value diversity both in who we are and in how we think because the more perspectives we bring to a challenge, the more likely we are to succeed.
Tectonic – a place to grow and succeed together.
