Title:
UKRI Biomanufacturing - 10101341 Platforms for GPCRs - Novel technology platforms for computational design and cell-based screening of peptide libraries targeting orphan GPCRs
Agreement Number:
1016558
Agreement Value:
$728,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 1, 2024 - Mar 1, 2026
Description:
As part of the international consortium project “Platforms for GPCRs - Novel technology platforms for computational design and cell-based screening of peptide libraries targeting orphan GPCRs”, this project will focus on ProteinQure and Orbit Discovery developing a new discovery platform for peptide therapeutics to drug previously undruggable, orphan G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). The result will be new capabilities and products for ProteinQure to market. ProteinQure's Artificial Intelligence platform will design custom libraries containing over 500K peptides, and these peptides will be screened using Orbit Discovery’s platform. We will demonstrate the ability to drug orphan GPCRs, one of the hardest classes of disease targets.
