This can be through providing access to Evotec\u2019s 400,000 compound screening library or antibody production capabilities. Alternatively, we will work with your own chemical matter to develop this further or use in house computational tools to identify additional starting points<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antibody development<\/strong> \u2013 Where the target dictates, novel antibody identification and subsequent optimization is available. Generated antibodies are then applied to disease relevant in vitro and in vivo assays to demonstrate the proposed mechanism-of-action<\/p>\n<p><strong>Structural biology<\/strong> \u2013 X-ray crystallography, NMR and other biophysical methods may be applied to understand the mechanism of binding and thus prioritise optimisation<\/p>\n<p><strong>In vitro validation<\/strong> \u2013 Characterize the potency, selectivity and the functional effects of small molecule or antibody candidates in a suite of translational assays using primary cells from rodents, primates or humans and iPSC models<\/p>\n<p><strong>In vivo validation<\/strong> \u2013 Using Evotec\u2019s comprehensive and flexible range of DMPK assays we will aim to test optimised compounds in a suite of disease relevant in vivo models also in the PI\u00b4s laboratory<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artificial Intelligence-driven Medicinal Chemistry<\/strong> \u2013 We will be able to support your Project by designing, synthesizing and scaling up the analogues required to test your compounds in the most relevant biological systems and to develop them further to safe and efficacious treatments while securing a route to novel IP<\/p>\n<p><strong>RNA, cell and gene therapy<\/strong> \u2013 In bespoke cases, the target might require the exploitation of alternative therapeutic formats. These could be antisense RNA to modulate protein expression levels, cell therapy to replace malfunctioning tissue or gene therapy to restore activity of a gene or add additional functionality[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10&#8243;][vc_column_text] Scope Support every development stage, from target identification to lead optimisation, to achieve a preclinical proof of concept.
