In the world of health and medicine, heart diseases remain a major concern. Many people across the globe suffer from these conditions, and finding effective treatments has been a big challenge. This is where FilamenTech comes in, with a fresh approach and a clear goal.

The team at FilamenTech noticed a big problem. Current methods to develop drugs for heart diseases often don’t provide a clear picture of how these drugs work in the human body. They wanted to find a better way.
To tackle this, FilamenTech developed the MUSICO Platform. This tool uses advanced computer simulations combined with real-world data to better predict how drugs will work. The platform can show effects at different levels, from tiny molecules all the way to the whole heart. The result? Faster drug development, increased chance of success, less money spent, and fewer animal and human trials.

FilamenTech’s new approach is already showing promise. They worked with a big drug company and used the MUSICO Platform to study a new drug. In just a few months, they could see how the drug might help patients with a specific inherited heart condition. This kind of insight would have taken much longer with old methods.
Joining the Labena Ventures programme also helped FilamenTech grow. They learned the importance of networking, planning ahead, and being ready for challenges.
The team’s advice to other startups is simple but powerful: “Stay open, be passionate, and never give up. Work with others, learn from every experience, and always aim to get better.”
FilamenTech is on a mission to bring better treatments to people with inherited heart diseases. Their story is one of innovation, teamwork, and hope for a healthier future.
