Identifying target proteins for the selection of new drugs
Professor Chas Bountra is interested in identifying and validating target proteins for drug discovery. Various technologies and strategies have allowed him to progress promising clinical candidates into Phase I, II, III studies, and to market. These new drugs offer novel treatments for neurodegenerative and gastrointestinal diseases, as well as pain disorders.
Many congratulations to Prof Alison Simmons, who has been awarded a Wellcome Trust Investigator Award. Alison Simmons is a Professor of Gastroenterology in NDM and the MRC Human Immunology Unit, and was recently elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. The Simmons lab works on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), a debilitating condition that affects more than 300,000 people in the UK. In IBD, the protective barrier that separates gut luminal microbes from the mucosal immune system is disrupted, leading to inflammation.
A specialist technique used to study drugs has been completed for the first time during an outbreak of Ebola virus disease. This study used pharmacokinetics – the measurement of the change in drug concentration in a person over time – to study an experimental drug for the treatment of Ebola virus disease during the 2015 outbreak in Sierra Leone.
