Can you go from idea to drug candidate in one year? At Gubra, we constantly pursue novel approaches to advance and enable smarter and faster peptide drug discovery. Therefore, we were eager to get started when presented with this exciting challenge “can you make a drug candidate that ticks all the boxes, i.e. potent in vivo efficacy, a long half-life and excellent physicochemical properties. Do it within a year!” With this aim, we exploited our innovative ML-based peptide drug discovery platform ‘streaMLine’ and demonstrated how the platform effectively facilitates accelerated development of novel peptide-based therapeutics. Did we succeed? Yes! And it has been a fun ride! Definitely some ups and downs along the way and many lengthy discussions with the project team. A total of 2688 peptides were synthesized, screened, and analyzed using the ML-guided approach to map out a solution space for generating GLP-1R agonists derived from the secretin backbone. We are happy to present the inner workings of our streaMLine drug discovery platform in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Kudos to the amazing team, (Jens Christian Nielsen,Claudia U. Hjørringgaard,Mads Mørup Nygaard, Anita Wester, Lisbeth Elster, Trine Porsgaard, Randi Bonke Mikkelsen, Silas Anselm Rasmussen, Andreas Nygaard Madsen, Morten Schlein, Niels Vrang, Kristoffer Rigbolt). Thanks for making this project a success. If you are into some light summer reading, you can find the full story here: (https://lnkd.in/dsAm7UHE) #drugdiscovery #pushingboundaries #speed #quality
Congrats, this will be my afternoon read!
Going from idea to drug candidate in a year is impressive, Louise S. Dalbøge! What specific ML algorithms were most effective in the peptide selection process for GLP-1R agonists?
Great job. Keep it going. We once went from gene to approval in under 2 years.
Hello dear colleague! It was very nice to see your message. I have some interesting peptides on hand that are used to treat serious diseases. I would like to modify them, is there any way I can use your program?
Wow that's impressive. I am excited to read this and learn more.
Drug discovery within a year is quite phenomenal.
You have 6 months next time
Congrats, looking forward to reading!
Congratulations Ma'am
Impressive achievement in just one year!
