Disease DNA Protein Production 
Drug Target Review
JUNE 9, 2025
The landscape of genetic medicine is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by innovative approaches that challenge the traditional, disease-specific paradigms. My transition to biotech and rare diseases was deeply personal – my son was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in 2020. “My

A gene is the essential hereditary unit that passes traits from parents to offspring; a segment of DNA containing instructions for making a specific protein or molecule that performs a particular function in your body. Researchers have identified nearly 10,000 monogenic diseases , or conditions caused by errors in a single gene.

As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. Last stops at RNA My last roles in biotech were where my original passion began: DNA and RNA. Synta was focused on small molecule drug discovery and development in oncology and inflammatory diseases. I wanted to use molecular biology to create drugs.

Cell-based assays , while more complex to develop and use, offer another option for characterizing product activity at a slightly higher level, allowing sponsors to measure the further downstream effects of products (e.g., morphological cell changes or alterations in protein production or expression).

Experiments at the Wuhan facility were done at the lowest two of the four standard biosafety levels, which were established at the dawn of recombinant DNA research in the 1970s. And a change to one specific part of the virus enabled it to locate and glom onto our cells, then slip inside and take over the protein production line.
