Title: 'The Evolution of PolyProx Therapeutics'
Speaker: Laura Itzhaki, PolyProx Therapeutics
Venue: Johnson Matthey Lecture Theatre (LT2), Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Philippa Fawcett Drive, Cambridge CB3 0AS
Description: Laura Itzhaki's talk will focus on a new technology that PolyProx Therapeutics has developed to harness the cell's internal quality-control machinery. Their approach shortcuts cell signals to redirect the machinery to dispose of disease-associated proteins. In 2019 PolyProx Therapeutics secured seed financing to develop drug candidates exploiting this technology.
