Great to celebrate Curve Therapeutics' 5 year anniversary last week! Founded back in 2019 and originating from the world-leading Microcycle research of CSO Ali Tavassoli at the University of Southampton, the Company has gone from strength to strength. With our innovative Microcycle discovery platform and rich pipeline of potential first-in-class assets, we are primed to revolutionise the #drugdiscovery space. A big thank you to our brilliant team - and not forgetting the support of our fantastic investors Advent Life Sciences, Pfizer Ventures, COLUMBUS VENTURE PARTNERS,S.G.E.I.C., S.A.U., British Patient Capital, Epidarex Capital, and Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals . We look forward to continuing this positive trajectory with the aim of transforming the lives of patients with diseases which have proved difficult to address using conventional drug discovery methods. #biotech #5yearanniversary #oncology

Fantastic to be mentioned in C&EN's recent article 'Macrocyclic peptides: Aiming for the perfect fit'. Our work is focused on screening for biologically active Microcycles (small cyclic peptides) using technologies developed from world-leading scientific research in the labs of Curve Therapeutics CSO Professor Ali Tavassoli. Unlike large Macrocycles, compact and rigid Microcycles behave more like small molecules and enable the discovery of targeted therapeutics against conventionally difficult to address targets. To learn more about what we do, please visit our website. Article credit: Benjamin Plackett https://lnkd.in/eBx-Vnix #biotech #drugdiscovery #Microcycle
