Keltic Pharma Therapeutics’ Post

🌟 Meet Our CSO, Professor Andrew Jamieson. 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that Keltic Pharma has been awarded a SMART Grant by Innovate UK to advance our innovative drug discovery platform, PEPSMOL©. This funding is a testament to our team’s dedication to pioneering new treatments for diseases that have been historically difficult to target. At Keltic Pharma, we're driven by scientific excellence and innovation and we’d like to introduce you to our Chief Scientific Officer, Professor Andrew Jamieson A founder of Keltic Pharma Therapeutics and a driving force behind our proprietary PEPSMOL© platform. Andrew brings a wealth of expertise in synthetic organic chemistry and peptide-based drug discovery, which is crucial to the ground-breaking work we're doing. Oh - and he also enjoys the odd glass of champagne when a celebration is in order 😀 With a distinguished career spanning over 20 years in both academia and industry, his work focuses on integrating the principles of synthetic chemistry and peptide engineering to create synthetic biologics, a new class of molecules that combine the best properties of small molecules and biologics like antibodies. Our initial focus with the PEPSMOL© platform is on inflammatory airway diseases, such as severe asthma that doesn’t respond to current treatments. The Keltic Pharma team have already validated the FFA4 receptor as a novel target in inflammatory lung disease, demonstrating the promise of our synthetic biologics approach in preclinical models. “With this SMART Grant, we can further validate the PEPSMOL© platform and explore new ways to treat severe asthma,” says Andrew. “We’re committed to leveraging our deep expertise in peptide chemistry and drug discovery to develop inhaled synthetic biologic drugs that offer new hope for patients.” Follow us for more updates as we continue to innovate and transform the future of drug discovery! 🌟 #Leadership #Biotech #Innovation #DrugDiscovery #SyntheticBiologics #GPCRs #Healthcare #SMARTGrant #InnovateUK #AsthmaTreatment #MedicalResearch #LifeSciences #KelticPharma #UniversityofGlasgow #AndrewJamieson
