In one approach, they mark targeted proteins with “destroy me” tags that work with small molecules known as molecular glues to prompt the cell’s own protein-clearing machinery to gobble up the proteins. Liu is also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a professor at Harvard University.

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?

Promising future Molecular glues offer exciting opportunities for targeted protein degradation and new ways to reach some of the estimated 85% of undruggable targets in the proteome. Conventional drug development has often focused on finding small molecules that fit the active site of a protein.

Shortly after finishing my studies, I landed my first job in industry working on cell biology research for several disease indications. TPD engages the body’s natural protein recycling system by selectively eliminating disease-causing proteins, ultimately addressing the root cause of disease.
