A Seek and Destroy Approach to Disease-Causing Proteins
Manage episode 431568776 series 3323646
The body has a natural mechanism for breaking down and clearing proteins. Arvinas is among a group of companies that’s seeking to harness this mechanism for therapeutic purposes. It has platform technology that enables the development of targeted protein degraders to breakdown disease-causing proteins. Among the benefits of this approach is that it offers a way to target so-called undruggable proteins that conventional drugs are not able to bind with in a strong enough way. We spoke to Randy Teel, chief business officer and interim chief financial officer of Arvinas, about protein degradation, its evolution as a therapeutic strategy, and the range of indications the company is pursuing.
