About
DISCO Pharmaceuticals is a cancer drug discovery company headquartered in Cologne, Germany, with operations in Schlieren, Switzerland. Founded in May 2022 and spun out of ETH Zürich, DISCO has built a pioneering cell surfaceome mapping platform that expands the universe of druggable targets for oncology. The platform uses cell-surface proteomics combined with advanced protein community mapping to identify novel therapeutic targets on the surface of cancer cells — targets that are largely inaccessible to conventional drug discovery approaches. DISCO's initial discovery programs focus on Small Cell Lung Cancer and microsatellite-stable Colorectal Cancer. In January 2026, the company entered a license agreement with Amgen to advance novel cancer surfaceome-targeted therapies, shortly after completing a €36 million seed financing round.
