About Corbus Medical

Built by engineers who've worked inside healthcare and pharma.

Corbus Medical is on a mission to compress the time between scientific question and informed action — building AI tools that turn weeks of pharmaceutical research into hours, without sacrificing rigor.

Our Company

Why we exist

The biggest breakthroughs in medicine are limited not by scientific knowledge, but by the time and resources required to synthesize it. A single literature review can take a research team weeks. A regulatory strategy can take months. By the time the work is done, the question has often moved on.

Our Mission

We build AI platforms that eliminate bottlenecks in early-stage pharmaceutical research — enabling researchers, biotech firms, and academic institutions to move from hypothesis to action in hours instead of weeks.

Our Approach

AMIR — our flagship platform — orchestrates an 80+ stage AI pipeline that produces comprehensive development dossiers covering literature synthesis, therapeutic hypotheses, regulatory strategy, clinical trial designs, IP analysis, and investor materials. Every output is grounded in cited sources and designed for review by domain experts, not as a replacement for them.

Who We Serve

Pharmaceutical R&D teams, biotech startups, academic researchers, clinical research organizations, and regulatory consultants worldwide.

Meet the Founders

Two operators with complementary expertise: an engineer who has spent his career building software inside healthcare and pharma, and a financial leader who has spent his career building the controls that scale regulated businesses.

Damon C. Merchant

Founder & CEO

Damon Merchant is the founder and CEO of Corbus Medical and the architect of AMIR (Artificial Medical Intelligence Researcher), the company's flagship AI platform for pharmaceutical research. He brings 25+ years of engineering leadership and a rare combination of credentials to the medical-AI space: dual CCIE certifications (Routing & Switching, Voice), PMP, and deep healthcare-industry experience.

Damon's healthcare background spans both clinical and pharmaceutical environments. As a Senior Voice Engineer at Fresenius Medical Care, he led Webex Calling deployments across clinics and corporate facilities and built “FIONA,” an AI-driven chatbot that automated Tier-1 IT operations and significantly reduced ticket volume. Earlier in his career, he served as an infrastructure support engineer at Detroit Medical Center (DMC), giving him first-hand exposure to the operational realities of large hospital systems.

Beyond Corbus Medical, Damon is the founder of Corbus AI, where he and his team have shipped a portfolio of production AI systems including AMIR, B.R.I.E.F. (AI marketing campaigns), CorbusCrew (autonomous AI employees), Visual Artist Studio (AI music video production), Live Tarot and Virtual Shepherd (both live on Google Play), and CORA (private-beta AI FX trading agent). Upcoming releases include C.I.N.E.M.A., Actor Studio, Interactive Cinema, Virtual Therapist, and Virtual Sweetheart. He was a featured speaker at the American Film Convention on AI's role in modern production pipelines.

Earlier in his career, Damon was a Certified Cisco Systems Instructor (CCSI) teaching official Cisco curriculum and a co-author or technical editor on five networking titles published by Syngress and McGraw-Hill, including the CCNA 2.0 Study Guide, CCDA Study Guide, and CCNP Routing. He studied Computer Science at the University of Michigan.
