Auransa
Auransa Inc. is a clinical-stage, AI-native biopharmaceutical company based in Palo Alto, California, founded in 2014 by Pek Lum. Auransa uses its proprietary SMarTR Engine — a hypothesis-free machine learning platform that mines human disease data such as RNA transcriptome and gene-expression profiles — to discover novel small-molecule therapeutics without starting from a predefined drug target. The company has analyzed more than 500,000 gene-expression profiles across roughly 70 diseases to identify molecular disease subtypes and match them to candidate compounds. Its lead program, AU-409, is a first-in-human Phase 1 candidate for liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), with additional pipeline work in heart-safe chemotherapy and other oncology indications. Auransa is a DCVC / DCVC Bio portfolio company, also backed by Lux Capital, 11.2 Capital, and Harmonix Fund. Auransa is a private drug-discovery company and does not publish a public API, developer portal, or SDK; this profile captures its identity and web presence in the API Evangelist network.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Auransa the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Auransa scores 8.4/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Auransa
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Auransa. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
