(NASDAQ:CSBR), a leading global technology-enabled research organization that is transforming drug discovery through innovative AI-driven pharmaco-pheno-multiomic (PPMO) integration, announced the launch of its therapeutic discovery and development platform into a wholly owned subsidiary named Corellia AI (Corellia).

Ronnie Morris, MD, President and CEO of Champions Oncology, who will also serve as Executive Chairman of Corellia AI said "I'm thrilled about the formation of Corellia. The therapeutic discovery initiative at Champions has been an exciting endeavor which utilizes our deep data. This team has been very effective at identifying interesting novel targets and has rapidly built therapeutic programs around these targets. So, launching this into a wholly owned subsidiary has been a natural next step, and will allow us to facilitate future growth. I look forward to seeing the continued growth and success of this organization as we enter this next phase."
"The evolution of Champions' therapeutic discovery and development initiative into an early-stage biotech has been a thrilling experience," said Michael Ritchie, PhD, M.B.A, Chief Commercial Officer at Champions Oncology who will serve as Chief Executive Officer of Corellia AI. "The discovery platform built by the Corellia team is truly unique, and it has enabled the development of an exciting set of early therapeutic programs. We have plans to aggressively move these programs into the clinic and leverage our unparalleled platform to continue building a very deep pipeline of additional therapeutic programs. Our current focus is on the development of transformative and novel next generation Antibody Drug Conjugates, and the Corellia platform is capable of much more in the future."
