Neurological disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, chronic pain, psychiatric disorders, are one of today’s largest unmet medical needs. However, due to poor disease and target understanding, Neuroscience drug discovery can be very challenging. An open access research platform with dedicated neuroscience specialists and integrated services will be an ideal partner throughout your drug discovery …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 >

#Research has explored the ways to extend the half-life of peptide drugs. One innovative way to achieve this is by fusing #therapeutic peptides to the Fc region of an antibody to create what is known as a peptibody. When the peptibody is naturally taken up by cells it binds to an Fc (antibody) receptor within …Read More >

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells are genetically engineered T cells that express a surface receptor to recognize tumor-associated antigens (TAA). CAR-T cell therapy have demonstrated remarkable success with hematological malignancies. However, limited headway has been made towards solid tumor, due to various challenges, including recognition of tumor-specific antigen trafficking and penetration, localization and survival within …Read More >

In recent years, proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) technology has become an effective endogenous protein degradation tool in drug discovery. As a class of heterobifunctional small molecules, PROTACs recruit an E3 ubiquitin ligase to a given substrate protein, resulting in its targeted degradation through the endogenous ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). PROTAC consists of three chemical elements: a …Read More >
