Company overview: Reboot Rx is the tech nonprofit startup dedicated to fast-tracking the development of affordable cancer treatments by repurposing generic drugs (www.rebootrx.org). There is a major opportunity to give generics a new life in oncology, making cancer treatments more effective and accessible for patients. We have developed proprietary AI technology using machine learning that rapidly analyzes vast amounts of data on generic drugs to systematically identify the most promising repurposing opportunities. We selected prostate cancer as our first cancer type to address. In only 12 weeks, we analyzed data from 16K+ published research studies on prostate cancer and non-cancer generic drugs. The top drugs our team of scientists identified have shown encouraging safety and efficacy for treating prostate cancer in extensive clinical studies, including Phase 2 randomized controlled trials. We are now building global partnerships to run larger clinical trials, establish a regulatory pathway, and promote the adoption of generics in the standard of care for patients worldwide. Working at Reboot Rx is a great opportunity to get hands-on experience at a collaborative, cutting-edge social impact startup at the intersection of data science, medicine, and policy.

The Reboot Rx story: Founded by CEO Dr. Laura Kleiman and CTO/COO Pradeep Mangalath in 2020, Reboot Rx is driven by a mission to bring cancer treatments to patients more quickly than traditional approaches to drug development. Our goal is to repurpose generic drugs as-is and not to change the drugs to create new patent protection, as this would negate many of the advantages of finding new uses for approved, low-cost drugs. We see our role as identifying the most promising drug candidates and ensuring that definitive evidence is gathered and the drugs become the standard of care; the drugs are already widely available and we do not plan to manufacture or sell them. We are a small organization with big ambitions, and we have achieved a lot in a short time thanks to numerous collaborations with prominent stakeholders in oncology and tech across academia, government, and industry. Our team is a mix of professionals and graduate and undergraduate students in biology and computer science. We are a positive and supportive team committed to helping all staff develop and grow. Our organization values patient-driven impact, scientific rigor, kindness and respect, open-mindedness and flexibility, and putting health and family first. We are funded through grants and philanthropy, which allows us to pursue the drugs with the greatest potential impact for patients.
