BullFrog AI (BFRG) Holdings issued a letter to stockholders from its CEO Vin Singh, which read in part, “In thinking back on this past year, it is evident that 2024 was a year of significant progress for BullFrog AI. It was a year of major advancements, strategic collaborations, and impactful discoveries, all of which have set the stage for what promises to be an even more exciting 2025. Our efforts have solidly positioned us for growth in AI-driven drug discovery, while also expanding our capabilities to address both current and emerging challenges in the pharmaceutical landscape. Key Highlights: Continued to Innovate and Advance our AI Capabilities: We significantly advanced our proprietary bfLEAP platform by integrating novel generative and causal AI technologies with graph analytics, exclusively licensed from Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory. This transformative enhancement enables us to generate explainable and reproducible AI results that deepen our understanding of biological mechanisms and disease drivers. The platform’s expanded capabilities now support multiple critical applications in drug development, including novel drug target discovery, biomarker prediction, drug repositioning, and analysis of cellular behavior mechanisms. Achieved Key Milestones with the Lieber Institute for Brain Development: Our strategic collaboration with LIBD has yielded groundbreaking insights into neuropsychiatric disorders. Utilizing our proprietary bfLEAP platform, we identified novel biological drug targets within disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. These insights are driving advanced discussions with several major pharmaceutical companies, setting the stage for what we believe will be material commercial agreements in 2025. This collaboration underscores the power of AI in unlocking new therapeutic pathways and has the potential to transform how these complex conditions are treated. Expansion of BF-114 Research: Building on our preclinical studies, BF-114 demonstrated compelling potential in treating obesity and related liver diseases such as metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. The publication of new findings in Cell Reports has further validated its therapeutic promise, and we have bolstered our efforts with the addition of globally recognized expert Dr. Lopa Mishra to our Scientific Advisory Board. BF-114 continues to attract significant interest and positions us for strategic partnerships in the liver disease market, projected to exceed $36.5B by 2030. Strengthened Intellectual Property Portfolio: We achieved additional patent protections for BF-223, a promising oncology drug candidate. The issuance of an Australian patent and the continued development of BF-223 in glioblastoma enhance the value of this asset, furthering our strategy to monetize its potential through collaborations…Robust Cash Position: We successfully closed two equity offerings in 2024, raising a combined $8.83M to support growth initiatives and working capital. This prudent financial management ensures that we remain well-positioned to execute our strategic objectives. As we move into 2025, our focus will remain on driving value through innovation, strategic collaborations, and the commercialization of our AI-driven solutions, including initiatives to expand our market reach and leverage our AI capabilities to serve a broader audience. With our lean operating model and a strong pipeline of opportunities, we believe BullFrog AI is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-enabled drug development.”
