Ready for a second superbusy day at #BioEuropeSpring2025! Networking is amazing this year, and we enjoy being local as much as bringing forward new and old discussions to the next level. Although we don’t have free slots anymore, our CEO Lidia Pieri, our CTO Giovanni Spagnolli and our corporate development manager Lorenzo Alibrandi will be happy to catch up around a coffee machine or at the ice cream spot! #foldthefuture
Chi siamo
Sibylla is an innovative start-up founded in 2017 as a spin-OFF of the INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics) and the Trento and Perugia Universities. Its multidisciplinary team of co-founders has developed a pioneering Early Drug Discovery method that applies to the research and design of new drugs, effective against diseases so far incurable. Drug discovery is an extremely complex problem, therefore requiring innovation. Sibylla is a beautiful example of how innovation can be pushed forward by a multidisciplinary and agile team. Sibylla's approach is based on the possibility of simulating the folding pathway from the amino acid sequence as produced by the cells' ribosomes to the native state. Traditional pharmacological methods investigate the target proteins' interaction sites in their native, biologically active state. Novel methods act at the DNA level. Sibylla follows an alternative approach. We identify small molecules that bind to pockets found in the intermediate folding state. These pockets disappear in the native state, and that is why we may try to drug proteins which have been so far considered undruggable. Sibylla technology is called PPI-FIT (Pharmacological Protein Inactivation by Folding Intermediate Targeting). A molecule found through PPI-FIT would impair the folding of the protein, leading it to degradation. The overall effect is a selective reduction of the expression level of the target protein. The medical areas focused on by Sibylla's research include oncology and antibiotic resistance, although the technology can be applied to any therapeutic area. The company is developing a proprietary pipeline of potential drugs. We can also provide co-development or identifying potential drugs for pharmaceutical companies' specific targets. We recently signed a collaboration agreement with an important Pharma company. Besides the promising results already achieved, Sibylla keeps being engaged in developing proprietary computing technology.

🚀 At Sibylla Biotech, we are happy to share that we have disclosed our first results in the field of quantum computing. This technology holds the potential to revolutionize the future of drug discovery. 👉 What’s the challenge? De novo design of binders has the potential to accelerate drug discovery significantly. While existing AI-based methods have shown great promise, they often struggle to generate truly novel binders because they rely on training data. 💡 Our solution: We’ve developed a physics-based de novo design approach for hit discovery that doesn’t depend on training data. Our quantum algorithm simultaneously explores configuration and conformational space—an area where quantum computing excels due to its ability to navigate complex energy landscapes efficiently. ⚡ The results: Our approach has demonstrated a strong correlation with experimental data, even on current, early-stage quantum hardware, when applied to peptide binder design. This is just the beginning, and as quantum technology advances, we expect this study to be the seed for technological advancements that will impact the acceleration of drug discovery. We’re proud of this milestone and look forward to continuing our journey into this exciting intersection of physics, biology, and quantum computing! The job has been done in collaboration with our co-founder, Pietro Faccioli. #QuantumComputing #Sibylla #foldthefuture

🇮🇹✨ Italy has already established itself as a center of excellence in the Life Sciences sector—now is the time to embrace the ambition needed to shine on the global stage. Last night, we were proud and excited to present Sibylla Biotech's journey at the 8th "Italy on the Move" event alongside the 43rd J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco. At Sibylla, we are inspired by the strength of Italy’s academic heritage, which nurtures an environment where visionary scientists can break boundaries and drive groundbreaking innovation. Our mission is to transform this innovative spirit into concrete solutions that improve patients' and families' lives. In our brief journey so far, we have witnessed a growing awareness of the importance of tech transfer and the increasing alignment of public and private initiatives to address the needs of biotech innovation. The expansion of the Italian VC ecosystem dedicated to biotech is a critical boost for Italy's excellence in achieving international recognition. This momentum empowers startups like ours to execute and create value and also amplifies the global impact of Italy's Life Sciences sector. This spirit of an indeed "Italy on the Move" could be felt tonight at Innovit, an extraordinary cultural hub to propel Italian innovation into the U.S. market. In this snapshot, we find ourselves alongside giants: Pierluigi Paracchi, CEO of Genenta, the only Italian biotech company listed on Nasdaq, and Alberto Acito, Innovit's Managing Director and driving force. It was just so cool to be there! We were deeply inspired by the words of Mauro Battocchi, Director General for the Promotion of the Italy System at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and Sergio Strozzi, Consul General of Italy in San Francisco, and by the many contacts allowed by the networking aperitif. We felt grateful and engaged to be part of this growing ecosystem where challenges become opportunities, and a profound commitment to human impact fuels innovation. More than ever, we are committed to doing our part to make it happen! Let’s show the world the full potential of Italian Life Sciences! 🌍✨ Lidia Pieri Giovanni Spagnolli #sibylla #foldthefuture

First Day at JPM Week: Inspiring, Marathon-like and Unforgettable. The first day of JPM Week has left us completely drained—but in the best possible way. Under a sincere, striking blue sky, the streets are alive with energy, buzzing with colleagues, familiar faces, and remarkable individuals we deeply admire—people who, day after day, are building the path of research and innovation to improve our present and shape the future for the next generation. The entire world of pharma and innovation is here, navigating the steep, gravity-defying streets of this incredible city (seriously, how do parked cars not roll away?). Every hotel and café downtown transforms into a meeting hub, a place where today’s milestones are celebrated and tomorrow’s visions are shared. For a small biotech like us, it’s an exhilarating and humbling experience. We walk up and down these impossible streets all day, meeting the big players in pharma and immersing ourselves in the incredible carousel of life that is JPM Week. It’s both exciting and exhausting. You collapse into bed at 8 PM, knowing the jet lag will wake you at 2 AM—but you’re already excited for tomorrow. More miles to walk, more connections to make, and another chance to play a small but meaningful role in this extraordinary ecosystem. Here’s to the journey, the people, and the vision that make it all worth it. Lidia Pieri Giovanni Spagnolli #JPMSF #sibylla #foldthefuture
