Important results from the project
The project has optimized several series of small molecular compounds in lead generation, modulating epigenetic target proteins with relevance for cancer and Alzheimer´s disease.
Expected long term effects
The project results have clear commercial value, and are expected to lead to a licence agreement. With availability of continued resources to show progress during negotiations, the deal is expected to lead to considerable growth of Beactica, with new employments and increased turnover/profit.
Approach and implementation
The research has been distributed in an international network of highly qualified CROs and academic collaborators. This has enabled a dynamic use of resources and expertise in the wide range of research fields that are required to achieve commercially viable results in drug discovery.
