Scientists generate new targeted protein degradation system that tunes a cell’s own proteins

Broad Institute

Related groups Liu lab Choudhary lab Fischer lab Researchers studying the role of proteins in health and disease use experimental tools that inactivate proteins, destroy them, or prevent them from being made in cells. PACE allows researchers to rapidly evolve new proteins that have useful features.

Targeted protein degradation: turning undruggable targets into druggable targets

Drug Target Review

TPD is a rapidly evolving therapeutic modality to degrade a disease-causing proteins, thereby eliminating their function specifically. 1 TPD is expected to challenge undruggable proteins, which are highly difficult to target by conventional small molecules. How does TPD work?

Attacking Cancers Using Novel Methods of Targeted Protein Degradation

SugarCone Biotech

Thus, it is not enough for 2 proteins to each be expressed on the same cell surface, other features such as protein mobility in the cell membrane must play a role. I suspect this is an area of active research. These are in development for neurodegenerative diseases.

Women in STEM with Juliet Williams

Drug Target Review

Shortly after finishing my studies, I landed my first job in industry working on cell biology research for several disease indications. At the time, research and leadership roles in biotech/pharma industry were predominately held by men and there were not as many opportunities for career development and mentorship from women leaders.
