Targeting p27 To 'Let Biology Do The Work' With Stacy Blain, CEO, Concarlo Therapeutics

Stacy Blain, PhD, turned 30 years of p27 research into Concarlo’s LOCKTAC, a molecular glue designed to restore natural CDK2/4/6 inhibition in cancer.

Fragment-Based Drug Discovery 2.0, Part 2: Practical Workflow, Difficult Target Classes, And Emerging Capabilities

Part 2 focuses on the practical workflow, difficult target classes, emerging capabilities, and the criteria for translating these technologies into better discovery decisions.

Drug Discovery AI Has A Ground Truth Problem

If the goal is more healthy years of life, the bottlenecks are target identification, target validation, and clinical testing. Why is AI not transforming those steps? Because the data are not there.
