Our Story

A Mission Born from Scientific Vision
Ligandal was founded on a simple yet powerful principle: everyone deserves more time. Andre Watson, our founder and CEO, established Ligandal with a vision for precision medicine targeting that allows for diseases to be approached at their molecular roots, with the aim of improving patient outcomes through accelerated translation of insights into cures.
Witnessing firsthand how years are lost to ineffective treatments and trial-and-error approaches, we set out to create technology that would fundamentally change how diseases are targeted and treated.
Today, our PDC (Peptide Direct Conjugate) technology, driven by LigandAI® and Predictive Interactomics®, represents the culmination of over 10 years of R&D directed towards that vision—precision medicine that targets disease at its molecular roots with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.
"We're not just developing treatments; we're giving time back to people. Time for research breakthroughs. Time for patients to live their lives beyond their disease. Time that matters."
