Paris-based start-up Enodia Therapeutics has secured €20.7 million in seed funding to advance its early-stage pipeline of targeted protein degradation. Elaia, Pfizer Ventures and Bpifrance led the Seed financing under the InnoBio investment framework, with further contributions from Wallonie Entreprendre, Argobio Studio, MACSF, the Institut Pasteur, InvestSud, Sambrinvest and Mission BioCapital.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) and MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have developed and patented the new UbiREAD technology, which decodes the complex ubiquitin code that marks target proteins for E3 ligase-mediated degradation in cells.
