How protective gene variants are revealing new drug targets
Finding the right drug target remains one of discovery’s biggest challenges. Human genetics is helping researchers strengthen the evidence before committing years of research and investment.
ArticleWhy AI struggles with new drug targets – and how physics could help
Virtual screening can assess billions of compounds, but performance can fall on unfamiliar targets. Combining AI with molecular physics could help make predictions more reliable.
ArticleTurning CNS biomarkers into better drug development decisions
Why do promising CNS therapies struggle to translate into patients? Three experts explore how biomarkers can track therapeutic effects, improve patient selection and guide development decisions.
ArticleFast-tracking AI-designed binders with cell-free expression and SPR
AI can rapidly generate new protein binders, but wet-lab validation remains a major bottleneck. Combining cell-free protein synthesis with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) enables AI-designed antibody binders to be screened directly from crude extracts, bypassing lengthy cell culture and purification steps.

NewsKidney organoids reveal inflammation drives diabetic kidney disease
University of Washington researchers have used stem cell-derived kidney organoids to uncover inflammatory pathways that drive diabetic kidney disease.
NewsWhat SIRPα reveals about how breast cancer takes hold in the brain
Scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognised cancer-intrinsic role for SIRPα in triple-negative breast cancer, linking the cell-surface protein to mitochondrial fission, tumour-cell migration and suppression of the brain’s immune defences.
NewsBCG and immunotherapy combination cuts tuberculosis relapse risk
Combining the BCG vaccine with a B-cell-targeting immunotherapy significantly reduced tuberculosis relapse rates in preclinical models.

Webinar
What it really takes to turn cancer discoveries into new therapies
Five leading cancer researchers from across genomics, proteomics, cell biology, chemical biology and gene therapy dig into what’s driving cancer drug discovery forward and what’s still holding progress back.
Webinar
Oligonucleotide therapeutics safety considerations across drug development
As oligonucleotide therapeutics continue to advance, their safety assessment presents challenges that differ from traditional drug modalities. Discover how nonclinical safety studies, evolving regulatory expectations and real-world case examples can help you navigate these challenges with greater confidence.
Opinion and interviews
The global push to reduce animal testing in drug development
Non-animal methods are already used throughout early drug discovery, yet animal testing continues to dominate regulatory safety assessment. Recent initiatives suggest change is coming, but significant scientific and practical challenges remain.
