Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DNA-encoded library use in living cells for drug discovery
Q: What technologies are you most excited about for the next five to ten years?
Leif mentions SPR as a biophysical method that pairs well with DEL screening, and also highlights targeted protein degradation (pro-TAG) as a particularly well-fitting area for DEL-derived molecules, offering a pathway to degrade target proteins rather than merely inhibiting them.
DNA-encoded library use in living cells for drug discovery
Q: What is the initiating process for working with Vipergen?
The main steps are the customer providing a protein sequence (GenBank or UniProt ID), Vipergen handles design and synthesis planning, and then proceeds with the sequence-based design and screening workflow after the necessary agreements are in place.
De-risking drug development using functional human tissues
Q: How has data analysis changed with the recent development of generative AI?
We utilize machine learning to detect small signals in data, making analysis much faster than in the past.
De-risking drug development using functional human tissues
Q: How long does it take to do a study?
Typically, our studies can be completed within weeks to a couple of months, depending on complexity.
De-risking drug development using functional human tissues
Q: What does it look like when a customer engages your organization?
Customers typically engage with some idea about their molecular target, and we work to validate or identify that target and generate data supporting the efficacy of their molecule.
