Chemical con artists foil drug discovery

Molecular Design

My main criticism of BW2014 that is that the rhetoric is not supported by data and I’ve always seen the article as something of a propaganda piece. I was rather surprised that BW2014 had not cited a single article about how colloidal aggregation can foil drug discovery. Given that M2003 had been published over a decade previously.

Machine learning’s growing importance in researching cells

Drug Target Review

Large language models are exceptional at collecting vast amounts of disparate information from esoteric websites, forums, book chapters, review articles, and even open access journals and then cramming the sum total of that information into a plain language summary that does a fair job of approximating human knowledge on the subject.

On quality criteria for covalent and degrader probes

Molecular Design

I’ll be taking a look at H2023 (Expanding Chemical Probe Space: Quality Criteria for Covalent and Degrader Probes) in this post and this article has also been discussed In The Pipeline. Subscripting doesn't work well in blogger and so I'll use K.i As measurement of k.inact/K.i

Article FDA Thank You Draft guidance on potency assays for CGT products garners extensive stakeholder input

Agency IQ

Cell-based assays , while more complex to develop and use, offer another option for characterizing product activity at a slightly higher level, allowing sponsors to measure the further downstream effects of products (e.g., morphological cell changes or alterations in protein production or expression).

Archbishop Ussher's guide to efficient selection of development candidates

Molecular Design

My view is that the data analysis presented in L2021 has minimal relevance to drug discovery so I’ll be saying rather less about the data analysis than I’d have done had J Med Chem asked me to review the study.

An industry leader’s perspective on the complexity of scientific data

Drug Target Review

Data-driven discovery As with many early-stage biotech companies, Five Alarm Bio is highly data-driven, producing vast amounts of experimental data through cell-based assays and phenotypic screening. She founded Pellis Care Ltd and in 2022 joined Five Alarm Bio Ltd as CEO.
