Thermo Fisher, NVIDIA, Pfizer, OurCrowd, and other investors have contributed $80 million to the Israeli firm CytoReason, which creates computational illness models for predictive insights.
The business also obtained financing from Bank Hapoalim, which acted as a stopgap measure until the additional funding could be obtained. The business has raised a total of $130 million thus far.
Pfizer and CytoReason have a strategic partnership that has already generated over $100 million in revenue. The massive pharmaceutical industry has previously made investments in the business. With this, NVIDIA makes its initial investment in CytoReason.

Leaders in the therapeutic areas may increase the likelihood that phase 2 trials will be successful and maximise their R&D portfolio by using their molecular-level insights and useful AI tools to make data-driven decisions.
CytoReason has established three large pharma collaborations, expanded its disease models to CNS-related disorders, and partnered with prominent data organisations since expanding its Pfizer partnership in 2022.
According to David Harel, co-founder and CEO of CytoReason, “The world understands that data alone is not enough, and that the future of data-driven insights is in data modeling. CytoReason is at the forefront of this revolution in pharma R&D.”
It is thrilled to use this money to strengthen and solidify its market position. This will help more pharma and biotech companies develop therapeutic assets faster and more accurately for more patients worldwide.
