Reinventing the small molecule toolbox: from proteins to RNA

Dark Matter Blog

Prior to 2015, I had a casual relationship, at best, with targeting RNA. The bulk of my nearly three decades of experience up to that point was with drugging protein targets using a variety of modalities, but principally small molecules. Welcome to the RNA world. Familiar tools to solve familiar problems with proteins.

Drug Target Review

Shortly after finishing my studies, I landed my first job in industry working on cell biology research for several disease indications. These are two essential signalling nodes in genetically and clinically validated pathways driving inflammation in autoimmune diseases that are undrugged or inadequately drugged with other technologies.

How nucleolar stress accelerates aging in mice

Drug Target Review

In a previous study, we showed that these peptides decorate all cellular RNAs and thus impair the binding of RNA-binding proteins to RNA. Initial works from the lab concentrated on exploring the role of replicative stress in cancer and ageing, for which the group combined cell biology, mouse models and drug development projects.

As such, it has been proposed that inhibiting CDK7 would provide a potent means of inhibiting cell cycle progression, which may be especially relevant given that there is compelling evidence from gene knockout studies in mice for lack of an absolute requirement for CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 for the cell cycle at least in most cell types (M alumbres et al.,
