Description:
Affina Biotechnologies is an early drug discovery and development (URL removed)t leverages its proprietary drug discovery technology to develop novel drugs to target difficult for drug development macromolecular complexes. The compounds we have are validated by biochemical or biophysical assays in house and in collaborations with scientific leaders in models of disease. We have small molecules that act directly against the tumor suppressor protein, p53, to kill highly resistant cancer cells and that act directly against PCSK9 to reduce levels of LDL. Many other programs are in earlier stages of drug discovery.
