Precision Medicine
Our scientists are pursuing an integrated approach for the discovery and development of biomarkers and therapeutics to broadly address unmet needs in cancer. Our capabilities include target and biomarker discovery integrated with small molecule and protein degrader therapeutics, from early discovery through clinical development.
Synthetic Lethality
Synthetic lethality occurs between two genes when the loss of function of either gene alone does not affect cell viability, but the simultaneous loss of function of both genes leads to cancer cell death. Mutated, amplified, and deleted genes in cancer have been catalogued, and historically undruggable targets can potentially be pursued indirectly, based on the concept of synthetic lethality.
As a therapeutic opportunity, a synthetic lethality therapeutic inhibits a target protein in a patient population selected for treatment based on genetic alteration(s) of the tumor biology.
