The Future of Drug Discovery: Tackling the Undruggable with New Biotechnologies

DrugBank

For example, PROTACs targeting STAT3, a protein crucial for tumor growth, have shown promise where conventional therapies have failed. Similarly, PROTACs can target and degrade overexpressed proteins, offering a way to overcome drug resistance, a common issue in cancer treatment.

Rapid delivery of toxicological material

Drug Target Review

The current landscape of protein drug development is characterised by accelerated timelines where new drugs are approved in months rather than years. For example, advances in media and feeds have contributed to higher cell protein expression by optimising nutrient availability and reducing accumulation of waste products within a culture.
