$RXRX Microglia are not just “another cell type.”
They sit at the crossroads of:
• Alzheimer’s
• Parkinson’s
• ALS
• MS
• Neuroinflammation broadly
Historically:
• Microglia were poorly understood
• Tools were blunt
• Targets were recycled → failure rates exploded
What Recursion delivered:
• A whole-genome, unbiased phenotypic map
• Across microglial states, not just one condition
• Generated via massive wet-lab experimentation + AI
That’s not incremental.
That’s a new discovery surface.
