@LabScribbles was recently honored with the
@hdfcures Nancy S. Wexler Young Investigator Prize. The foundation has also provided funding to support Dr. Harding's research on the interaction between the Huntingtin protein and HAP40.

Now peer-reviewed: rdcu.be/dJ7IY ... and just funded by a 5-year #CIHR grant to see with
@fgentile9,@LabScribbles,@thesgconline, @chem4biology and a growing number of chemistry labs what this expanding non-commercial chemistry space can do for hit finding.

Happy to explore with Canadian chemists a mechanism, pioneered by @chem4biology, to open academic chemistry to ultra-large virtual screening. Useful for challenging targets where the commercial chemistry space is not sufficient: bit.ly/3RikUtY @thesgconline

How benchmarking challenges and data in the public domain will guide development in AI-based methods and breakthroughs in #drugdesign on a scale analogous to that seen for protein fold prediction?

A new study demonstrates for the first time the ability of Huntingtin protein to directly bind to RNA species. Read our preprint and learn more about the role of a specific RNA, called NEAT1, in connecting with Huntingtin within cells.

"A protein implicated in a disease, remains a lock without a key unless a molecule can be found to bind to it and deter its harmful effects". Glad to see @globeandmail featuring CACHE Challenges in their piece on AI-guided #drugdiscovery. @consciencemeds

@mattschap, @LabScribbles and Derek Wilson identified a chemical handle that binds to USP3 without affecting its normal function. This compound provides a foundation for future USP3-recruiting DUBTACs to rescue targets from proteasomal degradation.

A chemical handle that binds to but does not inhibit USP3... In principle it could serve as a starting point for future USP3-recruiting DUBTACs to rescue targets from proteasomal degradation. @thesgconline Fun collab. with @LabScribbles and Derek Wilson! bit.ly/41sxlbo
