Small molecule drugs are effective because they bind to the surface of a disease-relevant protein in the human body. But currently, around 85% of human proteins remain “undruggable” because scientists haven’t yet found the site, or pocket, on the surface that a drug can bind to.

“Antibodies are phenomenal molecules keeping us healthy. But clinically they can be limited,” explains Dr Caroline Barelle, CEO and co-founder of Elasmogen. “Relatively speaking, human antibodies are large and complex. They are good anywhere there is blood but are less effective where there is a barrier, like a solid tumour. If they were smaller, you could get deeper into the tissue and be more effective.”
