Astex is using the Pyramid platform to develop new therapies for Alzheimer's disease, numerous types of cancers, and chronic inflammation. The company relies in part on a large group of investors for funding. Some of its main investors include Oxford Biosciences, Advent International, Apax, Bayer Schering, and Johnson & Johnson. Astex is collaborating with Novartis andJanssen Pharmaceutica on drugs for the treatment of cancer.
