The DDD platform at SciLifeLab supports academic drug discovery project with expertise and technical capabilities. We have, for example, platforms to develop small molecule drugs, therapeutic antibodies, oligonucleotide therapeutics, proximity-inducing agents such as bispecific antibodies and PROTACs.

In this call, the Drug Discovery and Development Platform (DDD) at SciLifeLab is looking for new pilot project proposals for drug discovery. All therapeutic modalities outlined above are of interest. Of special interest are new project ideas for (multispecific) biologics, and in collaboration with ENABLE2 https://www.ilk.uu.se/enable2/, small molecule projects for discovery of new antibiotics.

Note that small projects for selections in phage display libraries for antibodies, selections in DNA encoded chemical libraries for small molecules or limited screening for antisense or siRNA molecules can be considered.

A description of new modalities in drug discovery research can be found here: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsmedchemlett.9b00582
