ZS Discovery
We help clients reinvent pharma discovery, elucidate disease biology, innovate novel therapeutics and accelerate drug development to create breakthrough science and increase the probability of R&D success and patient outcomes.
WHAT WE DO
Challenges we solve
We’re passionate about accelerating transformation in research and early development so clients can build capabilities in programmable biology across therapeutic modalities. Our integrated approach is multidisciplinary and led by science.
Creating better breakthrough science
We help teams elucidate and better understand disease biology, improve patient stratification through molecular and phenotypical insights and the leverage of patient clinical insights to optimize modality choice and identify novel targets, biomarkers and drug candidates.
Increasing the probability of success
We work with clients to reduce risk, scale the probability of scientific regulatory success and reimbursement success through data, AI, analytics and technology-driven platforms.
Transforming R&D organizations
We help organizations become more agile, overcome inertia, break silos and optimize the right talent pool to promote disruptive innovation, foster organization-wide transformation and drive nonlinear drug development.

HOW WE DO IT
ZS’s approach
Our talent pool of molecular natives has scientific expertise across disciplines, including therapeutic, molecular science, bioinformatics and data science. Their expertise, combined with AI and ML technologies, drives breakthrough science.
Drug discovery
We accelerate drug discovery by uncovering novel aspects of disease biology to identify new targets. We help identify biomarkers and design and execute experiments, while applying in silico methods to deliver therapies to market faster.
Data and knowledge management
We help clients advance research by using data and AI platforms for in silico science. We leverage ML, customized bioinformatics analyses and multiomics platforms to make research data accessible and actionable.
Research strategy and transformation
We plan and design digital transformations of research and early development—including scientific strategy, benchmarking and more—while preparing the existing organization for the change.
Precision medicine
We leverage our expertise in population analytics and multiomics analysis of disease biology to deliver the right medicine to the right patient at the right time.

Your cells are not alone: Why spatial omics is the next frontier of research
What’s the next frontier of understanding how to treat disease? Full 3D models of cells, organs and even organisms. To get there, we’ll need spatial transcriptomics to develop drugs based on a new understanding of how cells interact with one another. Here’s what we envision for the next omics revolution.
ZS Discovery
Unlocking therapeutic potential with ‘periodic tables’
Pharma is harnessing single-cell data for drug discovery and development, but many complex diseases are multicellular in nature. How do we account for this? By creating species-specific “periodic tables” of cells to create better treatments.
ZS DISCOVERY
Why protein-protein interaction maps are the key to unlocking new therapeutic paradigms
ZS experts contributed to a global effort that combined single-cell technology with computational analysis to overlay data onto existing biological maps. Their work opened the door to what’s possible when using these maps to transform drug discovery.
ZS DISCOVERY
The future of drug development is single cell
ZS researchers identified a new type of cell sharing a common progenitor with adipogenic cells. The therapeutic implications are vast, pointing to a change that could drastically reduce clinical trial failure rates for the pharmaceutical industry.
