We are excited to report work from PCGI Director @RogerRogergr together with Elton Zeqiraj and Joe Salvino on the discovery of BIRSC deubiquitinating enzyme inhibitors for inflammatory indications rdcu.be/edRwF.
17 Mar 2025
Please see our discovery of first-in-class BRISC deubiquitylating enzyme inhibitors rdcu.be/edRwF. A great journey with Elton Zeqiraj, Francesca Chandler, Joe Salvino. High-throughput screens, cryo-EM structure and ontarget activity to reduce inflammatory signals.
