Unlocking a new molecular space in rapid drug discovery

23 October 2024 | By ,

So-called undruggable pharmaceutical targets could be tackled with intermediate sized drugs such as macrocycles, combining the advantages of small molecules and biologics. The preparation of very large libraries of chemically synthesised intermediate-sized molecules is now in reach with a new technology developed at ETH Zurich. In this article, Dr Michelle…

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

25 September 2024 | By

Drug resistance is the leading cause of poor clinical outcomes for cancer patients undergoing targeted therapies. While current treatments are designed to inhibit targets along established oncogenic signalling cascades, a new, exciting approach is to address non-oncogene-related resistance mechanisms that operate in parallel to the “classic” oncogene pathways. Blocking transcriptional…
