Researchers have identified nearly 10,000 monogenic diseases , or conditions caused by errors in a single gene. Fortunately, as readily as these diseases are discovered and characterized, so too are many of their cures.

Eloxx Pharmaceuticals to Report Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Provide Business Update on November 5, 2020

The Pharma Data

is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel RNA-modulating drug candidates (designed to be eukaryotic ribosomal selective glycosides) that are formulated to treat rare and ultra-rare premature stop codon diseases. Premature stop codons are point mutations that disrupt protein synthesis from messenger RNA.

A Look Back

Dark Matter Blog

My last stop at Arrakis Therapeutics is with a company targeting RNA with small molecules. I was enticed by Arrakis’ founder Jen Petter to serve in one more operational role, leading the research group at Arrakis as the company launched as one of the first biotechs to target RNA with drug-like small molecules.

Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

The Pharma Data

Unfortunately, in a Phase 3 clinical trial, treatment with remdesivir did not make a difference in mortality for Ebola virus disease patients. Without the stop sign, viral transcription no longer follows the correct order, which has a negative impact on viral protein production,” says Fang.
