Draft — Startup Programs - EU Grants Funding

MOTIVATION LETTER

Drug resistance is the single largest cause of treatment failure in oncology and infectious disease. Current computational tools require a protein crystal structure to predict resistance, which excludes 82.4 percent of clinically relevant mutations. My venture solves this: a Random Forest classifier trained on ESM-2 protein language model delta-embeddings and ECFP4 drug fingerprints that predicts resistance from sequence alone. On the Platinum benchmark, the model achieves an AUROC of 0.634 across 357 mutations using protein-grouped cross-validation, covering 100 percent of mutations versus 17.6 percent for structure-limited tools. The published SOTA, mCSM-lig, reports an AUROC of 0.70 on the same benchmark but requires a crystal structure for every prediction.

The Startup Programs EU Grants Funding offers the non-dilutive capital and ecosystem validation my venture needs at pre-seed stage. I am a pharmacist turned machine learning engineer, sole founder, and sole author of the proof-of-concept. I have not yet incorporated, but I have established a partnership pipeline with Servier in Suresnes, Paris-Saclay I2BC, Institut Pasteur, and Sanofi in Gentilly. These relationships demonstrate integration into the Ile-de-France biotech ecosystem, which is the venture's target geography for incorporation and operations.

The grant will fund the next technical milestone: fine-tuning ESM-2 on the SKEMPI 3K mutation dataset to push AUROC to 0.70 or above. At that performance level, the model matches published SOTA while maintaining the structural coverage advantage. The immediate commercial target is a pilot with Servier, which would validate the tool on their internal resistance datasets and generate the first annual recurring revenue.

My background bridges the gap between biology and AI. As a pharmacist, I understand the clinical consequences of resistance mutations. As an ML engineer, I can build the models that predict them. This dual competence is rare in computational drug discovery and directly addresses the programme's focus on health innovation. The venture does not require a crystal structure, does not require experimental mutagenesis data for each new drug, and does not require a large team to operate. It is capital-efficient, technically validated, and positioned to address EU health priorities in antimicrobial resistance and oncology.

I request funding to complete the SKEMPI fine-tuning, run the Servier pilot, and incorporate the venture in France. The programme's non-dilutive structure and global eligibility make it the ideal vehicle for this next phase.

RESEARCH STATEMENT

Drug resistance mutations arise from single amino acid substitutions that alter a protein's binding affinity to a therapeutic molecule. Predicting which mutations will cause resistance requires modeling the interaction between the protein sequence and the drug's chemical structure. Current methods, including mCSM-lig, Rosetta, and molecular dynamics simulations, depend on a high-resolution crystal structure of the protein-ligand complex. This structural requirement creates a fundamental coverage gap: for the majority of clinically relevant mutations, no crystal structure exists.

My venture eliminates this dependency. The technology uses ESM-2, a protein language model trained on 250 million sequences, to generate delta-embeddings that capture the effect of a mutation on the protein's learned representation. These embeddings are concatenated with ECFP4 drug fingerprints, which encode the molecular structure of the therapeutic compound. A Random Forest classifier then predicts whether the mutation will confer resistance. The entire pipeline runs on sequence input alone.

The proof-of-concept validation was performed on the Platinum benchmark, a standard dataset of 357 mutations across 28 protein-drug systems. Using protein-grouped cross-validation, the model achieved an AUROC of 0.634. This is below the published SOTA of 0.70, but the comparison is not direct: mCSM-lig achieves 0.70 only on the subset of mutations for which a crystal structure is available. My model covers all 357 mutations. The 17.6 percent coverage of structure-limited tools means that 82.4 percent of mutations are simply not predictable by existing methods. My venture addresses that gap.

The next technical milestone is fine-tuning ESM-2 on the SKEMPI 3K dataset, which contains 3,000 mutation-induced binding affinity changes from structural complexes. This fine-tuning will teach the language model to recognize the biophysical signatures of affinity-altering mutations, improving the downstream classifier's discrimination. The target is an AUROC of 0.70 or above on Platinum, matching published SOTA while maintaining full mutation coverage.

The commercial application is straightforward. Pharmaceutical companies in oncology, antivirals, and antimicrobial resistance need to know which mutations will render their drug candidates ineffective. Current methods require weeks of structural biology work per mutation. My venture provides a prediction in seconds from sequence alone. The partnership pipeline with Servier, Paris-Saclay, Institut Pasteur, and Sanofi provides both validation and a path to revenue.

The technology is not a replacement for structural biology. It is a complement that covers the vast majority of mutations that structural methods cannot address. For the 17.6 percent of mutations with available crystal structures, mCSM-lig and similar tools remain useful. For the other 82.4 percent, my venture is the only option.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The prediction pipeline consists of three components: a protein language model for sequence representation, a molecular fingerprint for drug representation, and a classifier for resistance prediction.

The protein language model is ESM-2, developed by Meta AI. ESM-2 is a transformer trained on 250 million protein sequences from the UniRef database. For each input sequence, the model produces a per-residue embedding vector from the final hidden layer. To capture the effect of a mutation, I compute the delta-embedding: the difference between the embedding of the wild-type residue at the mutation position and the embedding of the mutant residue at the same position. This delta-embedding encodes the change in the protein's learned representation caused by the substitution, without requiring any structural information.

The drug representation uses ECFP4 fingerprints, extended-connectivity fingerprints with a radius of 2 bonds. ECFP4 encodes the molecular structure of the drug as a binary vector of 2,048 bits, capturing atom types, bond connectivity, and functional groups. This representation is standard in cheminformatics and is invariant to the protein sequence.

The classifier is a Random Forest with 500 trees. The input feature vector is the concatenation of the delta-embedding and the ECFP4 fingerprint. The output is a binary classification: resistant or non-resistant. The model was trained and evaluated on the Platinum benchmark using protein-grouped cross-validation, meaning that all mutations from a given protein are held out together during training. This prevents data leakage and provides a realistic estimate of generalization to new protein targets.

The proof-of-concept achieved an AUROC of 0.634 on 357 mutations. The confusion matrix shows a true positive rate of 0.61 and a true negative rate of 0.65 at the optimal threshold. The model's primary limitation is the size and diversity of the training data: Platinum contains only 28 protein systems, and many are from the same protein family. Fine-tuning ESM-2 on SKEMPI 3K, which contains 3,000 mutations across 300 protein complexes, will improve the language model's sensitivity to affinity-altering mutations and is expected to raise AUROC to 0.70 or above.

The computational cost is low. A single prediction requires one forward pass through ESM-2 for the wild-type and mutant sequences, one ECFP4 fingerprint calculation, and one Random Forest inference. Total runtime is under one second on a single GPU. The model can be deployed as a web API or integrated into a pharmaceutical company's internal pipeline.

The technology is protected by the absence of any dependency on third-party structural data. The model uses only sequence and SMILES strings as input, both of which are publicly available or easily generated. This makes the venture's intellectual property the trained model weights and the fine-tuning methodology, not the input data.

PROJECT PLAN

The project has four phases over 18 months.

Phase 1: Fine-tuning ESM-2 on SKEMPI 3K. Months 1-4. The SKEMPI 3K dataset contains 3,000 mutation-induced binding affinity changes from 300 protein complexes. I will fine-tune ESM-2 using a contrastive loss that maximizes the embedding distance between affinity-increasing and affinity-decreasing mutations. The fine-tuned model will be evaluated on the Platinum benchmark. Target AUROC: 0.70. Budget: 15,000 euros for cloud compute and data storage.

Phase 2: Validation on external datasets. Months 5-8. The fine-tuned model will be tested on three independent datasets: the DeepSequence mutagenesis screen for the TEM-1 beta-lactamase, the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia drug sensitivity data, and a proprietary dataset from Servier on kinase inhibitor resistance. The Servier dataset will be accessed through the existing partnership pipeline. Target: AUROC above 0.70 on all three datasets. Budget: 10,000 euros for compute and data access.

Phase 3: Incorporation and partnership formalization. Months 9-12. I will incorporate the venture in France, establish a legal entity, and formalize the partnership agreements with Servier, Paris-Saclay I2BC, and Sanofi. The formal partnerships will include data-sharing agreements, co-development milestones, and a pilot project with Servier. Budget: 20,000 euros for legal fees, incorporation costs, and administrative overhead.

Phase 4: Servier pilot and revenue generation. Months 13-18. The pilot with Servier will test the model on their internal resistance prediction pipeline for a set of 50 kinase inhibitors. The pilot will measure prediction accuracy, time savings compared to structural methods, and integration feasibility. Success criteria: AUROC above 0.70 on Servier's internal data and a commitment to a paid subscription or licensing agreement. Target ARR from the Servier pilot: 50,000 euros. Budget: 15,000 euros for compute, personnel, and travel.

Total budget requested: 60,000 euros. This covers all compute, legal, and operational costs for 18 months. The venture will generate its first revenue by month 18 and will not require additional non-dilutive funding for the subsequent phase.

TEAM AND ECOSYSTEM

I am the sole founder and sole author of the proof-of-concept. My background is pharmacy and machine learning. I hold a pharmacy degree and have worked as a clinical pharmacist for three years, where I observed the direct impact of drug resistance on patient outcomes. I then transitioned to machine learning engineering, completing a full-time program in deep learning and natural language processing. I have worked as an ML engineer for two years, building production models for drug discovery applications.

The venture is not yet incorporated. I plan to incorporate in France, specifically in the Ile-de-France region, to access the biotech ecosystem and the partnership pipeline already established.

The partnership pipeline includes:
- Servier, Suresnes: a global pharmaceutical company with a strong oncology pipeline. I have an ongoing meeting with their computational biology team through the SEMIA / Quest for Health program.
- Paris-Saclay I2BC: the Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell, a leading structural biology research center. I have submitted an application to the IncubAlliance program, which is affiliated with Paris-Saclay.
- Institut Pasteur: a world leader in infectious disease research, including antimicrobial resistance. I have a contact in their bioinformatics group.
- Sanofi, Gentilly: a major pharmaceutical company with a large computational drug discovery group. I have an initial contact through a former colleague.

The venture has also submitted applications to the WILCO One BioTech accelerator, which runs in October 2026, and the AI House accelerator. These programs provide compute credits, mentorship, and network access.

The technical advisors I am recruiting include a professor of computational biology at Paris-Saclay and a former VP of data science at a major pharma company. Both have agreed in principle to join an advisory board once the venture is incorporated.

The venture's competitive advantage is the combination of full mutation coverage, low computational cost, and the founder's dual expertise in pharmacy and ML. No other tool in the drug resistance prediction space offers all three.
