Fold the future

Chi siamo

Sibylla is an innovative start-up founded in 2017 as a spin-OFF of the INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics) and the Trento and Perugia Universities. Its multidisciplinary team of co-founders has developed a pioneering Early Drug Discovery method that applies to the research and design of new drugs, effective against diseases so far incurable. Drug discovery is an extremely complex problem, therefore requiring innovation. Sibylla is a beautiful example of how innovation can be pushed forward by a multidisciplinary and agile team. Sibylla's approach is based on the possibility of simulating the folding pathway from the amino acid sequence as produced by the cells' ribosomes to the native state. Traditional pharmacological methods investigate the target proteins' interaction sites in their native, biologically active state. Novel methods act at the DNA level. Sibylla follows an alternative approach. We identify small molecules that bind to pockets found in the intermediate folding state. These pockets disappear in the native state, and that is why we may try to drug proteins which have been so far considered undruggable. Sibylla technology is called PPI-FIT (Pharmacological Protein Inactivation by Folding Intermediate Targeting). A molecule found through PPI-FIT would impair the folding of the protein, leading it to degradation. The overall effect is a selective reduction of the expression level of the target protein. The medical areas focused on by Sibylla's research include oncology and antibiotic resistance, although the technology can be applied to any therapeutic area. The company is developing a proprietary pipeline of potential drugs. We can also provide co-development or identifying potential drugs for pharmaceutical companies' specific targets. We recently signed a collaboration agreement with an important Pharma company. Besides the promising results already achieved, Sibylla keeps being engaged in developing proprietary computing technology.

    ✨ A Year in Review: Progress, Innovation, and Milestones ✨ As 2025 approaches, we reflect on the incredible growth, innovation, and perseverance journey across 2024. This year, we made significant progress across our pipeline, platform, corporate structure, and partnerships. Pipeline Advancements 🚀 We achieved in vivo validation of our platform, a key milestone in demonstrating its potential, and are now planning to guide our lead program toward clinical success and validation. We also validated other internal targets, building a pipeline of potential breakthrough therapeutics. Platform Innovations 💻 We deepened mechanistic insights to widen the application extent of our simulation platform. We empowered the discovery platform with powerful and proprietary AI tools. And much more that we will reveal in the future... Strategic Partnerships 🤝 We proudly signed a collaboration agreement with Ono Pharmaceutical, advancing shared objectives. Corporate Growth 🌟 We strengthened our corporate and operational structure to support our ambitious goals, ensuring an up-and-running team to drive innovation and execution and equipping us with the tools and talent necessary for sustainable growth. Looking Ahead 🔭 2024 has been a transformative year for us, marked by meaningful progress across every aspect of our company. As we progress, we remain committed to pushing boundaries, delivering value, and advancing therapies that make a difference. Our Culture Shines Through 💖 Despite change and growth, our culture remains a pillar of our success: people are at the center, and the team makes the company. In the ups and downs of our human journey, we find joy and support in working together, and this is just magic and unique! Last but not least, this year, 2024, we celebrated the arrival of three new lives from our team: Elia, Federico, and Harriet Liliana. They bring joy and hope for the future. We are proud to #foldthefuture to advance science and create a better world for them and the generations to come. 🌍 Together, we wish you Merry Christmas and toast to another year of innovation, collaboration, impact, and joy! 🌟 #YearInReview #WeAreSibylla #Sibylla

    🚀 Groundbreaking Research Alert! 🧬 We proudly announce the findings of an exciting interdisciplinary study authored by our co-founders and PPI-FIT technology inventors Emiliano Biasini and Pietro Faccioli, in collaboration with our CTO Giovanni Spagnolli, our other co-founder Graziano Lolli and an incredible team of scientists among which two sibyllians, Laura Copat and Dino Gasparotto, titled: "Mapping Cryptic Phosphorylation Sites in the Human Proteome" 🔬. This work delves into the hidden world of cryptic phosphosites—phosphorylation sites buried within the protein core in its native state. These sites only become accessible during the protein folding process and may play a pivotal role in protein homeostasis, degradation, and even disease. Key Findings: - 1 in 3 proteins contains at least one cryptic phosphosite. - These sites are evolutionarily conserved, suggesting a critical biological function. - Cryptic phosphosites are linked to cancer-related mutations, potentially influencing tumor fitness and onco-suppressor activity. - Phosphorylation of these cryptic residues can destabilize native protein structures, triggering degradation and impacting protein levels.             This study represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of protein regulation and homeostasis. It also reinforces the potential of protein folding intermediates as a novel target space for therapeutic intervention. At Sibylla Biotech, we’ve long believed that protein folding intermediates hold the key to discovering new drugs. This research confirms that evolution may have exploited these transient states for millions of years to regulate protein function. Now, we are leveraging these insights through our Protein Folding Interference Technology to develop groundbreaking therapeutics. Why This Matters: This study opens up a new frontier in understanding how proteins are regulated and how these mechanisms can be harnessed to fight diseases, including cancer. It also validates our approach to drug discovery, positioning Sibylla Biotech at the forefront of innovation in targeting protein folding intermediates. We’re incredibly proud of this achievement and the collaboration between computational, experimental, and theoretical disciplines that made it possible. 💡 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/dMtg-FnW Join us on this journey to revolutionize drug discovery and unravel the mysteries of protein folding! #foldthefuture #sibylla
