TARGETING THE UNDRUGGABLE
SyntheX is using the power of genetics and synthetic biology to build the next generation of drug discovery engines.
We create cell-based platforms to produce and functionally select molecules to target conventionally 'undruggable' proteins.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Using genetically engineered circuits, our platform technologies rely on intracellular drug selection as opposed to in vitro screening. This allows us to discover compounds with novel modes of action that can engage targets in both competitive and allosteric ways.
We have developed ToRPPIDO to discover disruptors of PPIs, and ToRNeDO to discover functional protein degraders using a specific E3 ligase and a neosubstrate of interest.
Our platforms can use canonical small molecule HTS approaches or our proprietary DNA encoded peptide and macrocycle libraries.
