“I am very impressed with the expertise of the team and the work they are doing here at Terray,” said Dr. Black. “The ability to measure precise chemical-biological interaction data at scale addresses a longstanding pain point in drug discovery. This, combined with a machine learning approach, provides exponential potential to transform the field. I am delighted to join the Scientific Advisory Board at this pivotal stage for the company.”

In addition to hiring in key leadership and strategic functions, Terray Therapeutics continues to build on the momentum of their recent $60 million Series A financing by expanding their operational and laboratory capabilities in a new facility in Greater Los Angeles. The company’s new headquarters will occupy nearly 50,000 square feet of combined lab/office space at the Monrovia Technology Campus. This is a significant expansion in footprint and will enable the company to support their next phase of growth.
