Gate 1 Presentation
October 13, 2007
  • Nick Manov, CEO
  • Miguel Hengelhaupt, CFO
  • Rachel Dyke, CMO
  • Adam Silverman, PhD, CTO

2
The NARM-X Vision
  • NARM-Xs novel technology for lead discovery of
    protein therapeutic agents will screen drug
    candidates faster and will generate more
    candidates than mainstream technologies in the
    13 billion protein-based oncology therapeutics
    market.

3
The Need
  • Pharmaceutical companies need faster, cheaper
    ways to discover drug candidates (esp.
    protein-based)
  • Discovery process takes 2-20 years and gt200
    million per drug1,2

Thank you!Questions?
25
Technical Hurdles
  • Starting with naïve libraries nonspecific
    binding and ability to pull out first
    generation leads
  • Obtaining all targets of interest in useable
    form (soluble, Fc-fusion, etc)
  • Robustness of cell-free expression of large
    protein fragments like Fabs (if we go in that
    direction rather than ScFvs or other fragments)
  • Working out technology to screen for multiple
    targets at once (may or may not be possible)

Achievements of Ribosome Display
  • 108-fold enrichment of ScFv to hemigglutanin
    after 5 cycles
  • Naïve library screened against insulin generated
    numerous picomolar binders with totally different
    frameworks
  • Picomolar binders selected from a library from
    transgenic mice and screened against progesterone
