Cell and protein analysis

This is the latest episode of the free DDW narrated podcast, “How is mass spectrometry advancing drug discovery?”, which covers two articles written for Volume 23, Issue 3 – Summer 2022 of DDW. They are called “Native mass spectrometry: Drug discovery’s new kid on the block”, and “Addressing the developability gap in pharma”. In the […]

By Idlir Liko, Kleitos Sokratous & Miguel Silva at OMass Therapeutics Current drug discovery methods have limited success against certain drug targets and better approaches are needed. Professor Dame Carol Robinson’s work, including her recent publication in Nature, highlights how native mass spectrometry offers a new way to discover therapeutics against inadequately drugged or intractable […]

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified a protein that helps tumours evade the immune system and, in certain types of cancers, is linked to a poorer chance of survival. The protein could become a target for future cancer treatments. A crucial part of the immune system’s response to cancer is a group of […]

PerkinElmer is serving as a provider and co-developer of assays, instrument solutions and expertise for the PROXIDRUGS Consortium which is zeroing in on research for proximity drugs or PROTACs (PROteolysis Targeting Chimeras). PROTACs are a new class of drugs that take advantage of the body’s own cell protein recycling system to fight disease by using […]
