Discovery of Novel Targets – Application of Genomic Sequencing Technologies

June 03, 2026
Innovation Stage
  • Application of genomic sequencing technologies is transforming drug target discovery and therapeutics development 
  • Oxford Nanopore long read sequencing enables identification of patient-specific, disease relevant microbial species, facilitating understanding of disease pathobiology and development of therapeutic strategies for IBD 
  • Ribo-seq enables discovery of HLA-I peptide and proteins derived from novel unannotated open reading frames, facilitating novel antigen discovery for cancer immunotherapy and novel protein discovery for therapeutic targets
