Revolutionizing Drug Discovery Pipelines with Cryo-EM

Rational drug design with protein structure determination

Rational drug design that leverages routine, high-resolution protein structure determination is driving the discovery and development of diverse biologic and small molecule therapies. The rapid maturation of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) over the past decade underpins the dramatic expansion of modalities benefitting from structural information. Cryo-EM delivers rapid, atomic-scale epitope mapping for antibody therapeutics and immune response profiling, supports the elucidation of mechanisms of action, and expands the range of therapeutic targets accessible to structure-based drug design.

Small molecule structure-based drug design

Using protein structure early reduces the time, cost, and risks of clinical development. Cryo-EM expands the range of structurally enabled targets, unlocking conformations and cryptic sites for new modalities.

Antibody discovery and epitope mapping

Effective antibody development requires an understanding of antibody-antigen interactions. Cryo-EM reveals molecular structures, aiding in differentiation, epitope mapping, design, and more.

Vaccine design

Structure-based vaccine design accelerates antigen identification and engineering which, together with novel vaccine-delivery platforms, shortens the development cycle needed to combat emerging infectious diseases.

Cell and gene therapy

Cryo-EM enables rational design of CAR-T binders, capsid engineering for viral vectors, and characterization of gene delivery vehicles.

Drug formulations and characterization

Electron microscopy makes it possible to characterize a variety of attributes in drug formulations to help ensure quality and efficacy.
