📢 A rational approach to molecular glue discovery: GlueSEEKER™ Molecular glues are an emerging class of innovative drug that exploit the cell’s proteostasis mechanisms by inducing close proximity between a target protein and an effector protein (like an E3 ligase). This effectively glues them together. These small molecule drugs have so far only been discovered by serendipity. To address this challenge, we have developed GlueSEEKER. Expanding on our SITESEEKER platform, GlueSEEKER integrates computational approaches with molecular biology to systematically identify new molecular glue targets, expanding the scope for this important modality and helping us to bring new precision medicines to fruition faster.

About us
PhoreMost is a new-model drug discovery company based in Cambridge, UK. We are dedicated to ‘Drugging the Undruggable®’ disease targets using our next-generation technology, SITESEEKER®. Using PROTEINi® libraries, this unique drug target identification platform can discern the best new targets for future therapy and crucially, how to drug them, which has the potential to significantly increase the diversity and affordability of novel therapeutics for cancer and other unmet diseases. PhoreMost is building a pipeline of novel drug discovery programmes aimed at addressing a range of diseases, with a mission to accelerate, diversify and rationalise drug discovery. Using this core expertise to open up new ‘druggable’ target space and working with a global network of co-invested academic and industrial collaboration partners, we aim to bring a wide array of novel ‘targeted’ therapies more efficiently to market and pass these cost savings onto patients. We realise that we can’t progress our mission alone, and so are committed to forging a new model of drug discovery, working in partnership across both academia and industry to realise this vision. We are committed to being an open, inclusive and responsible company, PhoreAll and PhorEST being our dedicated inclusion and green initiatives.
