Join WuXi AppTec at IMMUNOLOGY2024™. For this year’s annual meeting of the American Association of Immunologists (AAI), WuXi Biology has been selected to present five noteworthy posters, showcasing our panel of preclinical models representing urticaria, nephritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and atopic dermatitis. Stop by Booth 777 to get your questions answered by one of our …Read More >

What if a constructed PROTAC with a confirmed high-affinity warhead doesn’t work as expected? That means we need to take a closer, more careful look at how it’s designed and how it works. In this video, our expert from WuXi Biology shares strategies to address such an R&D scenario.

In the last decade, targeted protein degradation (TPD) technology has become one of the most promising methods to remove specific disease-related proteins using cellular self-destruction mechanisms. As of now, over 20 targeted protein degraders have advanced into clinical development. WuXi AppTec has built a robust TPD discovery chemistry platform. We deliver synthetic and medicinal chemistry …Read More >

Drug Discovery Chemistry Conference 2023 WuXi AppTec has developed technologies to facilitate RNA small molecule screening, an exciting frontier in drug discovery. SHAPE-MaP is applied to determine RNA structure and dynamics and verify small molecule binding. We utilize the “DNA-Zipper” strategy to enable DNA-encoded libraries to identify RNA binders. With other technologies including fragment-based drug …Read More >

Drug Discovery Chemistry Conference 2023 Powerful biophysical and structural biology tools enable the study of large numbers of covalent fragments and are opening up new possibilities in the treatment of various diseases. Here, Dr. Moran Jerabek-Willemsen, Head of Biophysics & Screening in WuXi Biology reports the results of a covalent FBDD project on Bruton’s Tyrosine …Read More >

Drug Discovery Chemistry Conference 2023 DNA-Encoded library (DEL) screening is now commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry to find novel chemical matter that modulates protein targets of interest.  Point-by-point, Dr. Alex Satz, Executive Director, WuXi Biology will discuss the primary challenges and limitations of DEL screening, and concisely state the current abilities of the technology …Read More >

When a new pathogen invades, it’s a race against time for your immune system to stop it from multiplying out of control. This week, we explore Protein Based Vaccines as part of our “How Does It Work?” series. Fortunately, #vaccines give your immune system a head start against dangerous pathogens. A protein-based vaccine, like this …Read More >

This week, we delve into Adenovirus Vaccines as part of our “How Does It Work?” 3D MoA animation series examining biotech topics on a molecular level. In 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic, but not all viruses are bad news. Adenoviruses are a family of viruses that can be used …Read More >

If you’ve ever read about mRNA vaccines and wondered, “How Does It Work?” This week’s installment of our video series was made with you in mind. To understand how mRNA vaccines work, let’s take a close look at the immune system. Your immune system can recognize that the structures on bacteria or viruses are different …Read More >
