We shared an exclusive update at the @BoulderPeptide Symposium, where Julie Owen presented v1.1 of our peptide monomer database, expanding the resource from ~2,500 to nearly 5,000 peptide monomers and adding new ways to explore, search, and source this chemical space. See link 👇

Glioblastoma almost always recurs. So we're using its own biology against it: a peptide-siRNA conjugate targeting SORT1. >1,000 sequences → ML triage → 2 leads with strong knockdown. Then we added chemo. A poster worth seeing. Shannon Tsai, Mon Oct 12, 4:30–7:30pm. @OTSociety

Find us at #BIOEurope in Cologne, Germany on Nov 9 to 11. Our CSO & Co-Founder Christopher Ing will be there to talk ML for peptides, cyclic peptide therapeutics, peptide-oligo conjugates and more. Tackle targeted delivery with us. Reach out here or via the partnering portal.

Inverse folding traditionally stops at 20 amino acids. AtomWeaver dares to deliver more. It builds side chains atom by atom, then matches identity against a library. Adding a new NCAA is easy, no retraining needed. Peptide design with a vocabulary you can keep expanding. Paper👇

Great visit from MP @maggiechidvn today! She toured the PQ office and learned how we're accelerating drug discovery and clinical trials. Grateful for federal leadership engaging with Canadian biotech innovation. 🧬🇨🇦

Somewhere in a vendor catalog is the monomer your peptide program needs. Good luck finding it. We built the Peptide Monomer Explorer: 2,400+ monomers, chemically standardized, each with a commercial source. Explore instead of hunt. monomers.proteinqure.com
