About Revalia

We're a moonshot company pushing the boundaries of biotech and drug discovery. Born out of Yale, we aim to radically rethink the traditional R&D model—and we’re backed by some of the most forward-thinking institutions out there.

We won the ARPA‑H award (think DARPA for health), the same kind of program that gave rise to Siri, the Internet (ARPANET), and GPS.
