Communications, Brand & Events Lead

About Orakl Oncology Every cancer patient deserves a treatment that works for them. Today, too many never get one in time: fewer than 5% of new cancer drugs make it through clinical trials, and every failure costs patients precious time. Orakl exists to change those odds. We bridge biological and artificial intelligence by building large cohorts of virtual cancer patients, combining real patients' tumors with their medical histories and deep biological data. By integrating patient-derived tumor models, experimental biology and AI, we help pharmaceutical companies predict how cancer drugs will perform in patients, identify promising treatments and make better decisions earlier in drug development. Founded in 2023 by Fanny Jaulin, PhD, Diane-Laure Pagès, PhD, and Gustave Ronteix, PhD, Orakl is a spin-out of Gustave Roussy, one of Europe's leading cancer centres, building on a decade of research. Backed by international investors, we are scaling our technology and partnerships with pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
