RePurpose is an innovative application designed to foster collaboration among researchers, institutions, and companies dedicated to drug repurposing — the process of identifying new therapeutic uses for already known molecules. The platform was developed within the framework of the RePo-SUDOE project (S1/1.1/P0033), co-funded by the Interreg Sudoe Programme through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
A global network for therapeutic innovation
Drug repurposing has become a key strategy to accelerate medical innovation, optimizing resources while reducing the time and cost required to develop new treatments. Within this context, RePurpose aims to create a shared environment that promotes scientific and technological cooperation at an international scale, strengthening connections among all stakeholders involved.
Inspired by an intelligent matching system, the platform helps identify common interests, complementary skills, and collaboration opportunities — a true “Tinder for drug repurposing researchers”. It thus facilitates global networking and knowledge exchange among academic institutions, biotech companies, and innovation stakeholders.
