Discovery moments: TYK2 pseudokinase inhibitor

Plenge Gen

For me, the most enjoyable aspect of discovery research is exploring the unknown. It is about having a big idea; believing in that big idea based on a scientific belief framework ; coming to a crossroads in the validity of the big idea, which is usually marked by deep uncertainty and skepticism; making a data-driven scientific decision to proceed (or not) to the next inflection point of testing the big idea; and ultimately arriving at a conclusion of whether the big idea is true.
