Structure based drug discovery and related
services: |
|
|
|
1. We
design a small molecule inhibitor for a target protein, perform docking and
energy minimization and associated studies. |
|
2. We
provide critical evaluation of drugs designed by other companies. |
|
3. We
investigate failed drugs and recommend modifications. |
|
|
|
Example: |
|
Company “A” requests us to study why a drug
failed in clinical trials even though it passed animal testing. We
investigate the molecular differences in target protein between the animal
model and human and point out where problems could exist. |
|
|
|
|
business/ project plan critical evaluation
services |
|
|
|
Example 1: |
|
A venture capitalist receives a promising
business plan in life sciences and requires the validation of its technical
content and competency of the principals. We perform a critical analysis of
the business plan and identify potential pitfalls of the proposal in
addition to the merits of the proposal. |
|
Example 2: |
|
Company “A” wishes to apply for a joint SBIR
grant. We provide assistance in the preparation of the proposal and also
include collaborator profiles to enhance the value of the application. |
|
Example 3: |
|
Company “C” wishes to buyout company “D”. Is
it worth a buyout? We study the technical aspects (not financial) of the
merger/ acquisition and provide a critical evaluation. |
|
|
|
|
bioinformatics - training and consultancy
services |
|
|
|
Example 1: |
|
A software company “A” wishes to expand into
the field of bioinformatics and rational drug discovery. We provide basic
and advanced training to their employees. |
|
|
|
Example 2: |
|
Company “B” wishes to start in
bioinformatics. We build the computational infrastructure and resources
required for them. We propose new projects and guide them during
implementation. We also help recruit qualified personnel. |
|
|
|
|
collaborative R & D |
|
|
|
Example 1: |
|
Company “A”
produces crystals of a critical protein and needs a structural
biologist to solve its structure using x-ray crystallography. We work with
company “A”, collect x-ray data from synchrotron and solve the structure
(if possible). |
|
The protein crystals must be available in
muliple forms (heavy atom derivatives) or Se-Met form, and diffract to high
resolution. |
|
|
|
Example 2: |
|
Company “B” wishes to work together as a
team exchanging ideas and load-sharing. We work with “B” in areas where
complementing skills are mutually beneficial. |
|
|
|
|
educational services |
|
|
|
Example 1: |
|
School “S” wants a course in bioinformatics.
We design and offer a course based on the level and skill set of the
students. |
|
|
|
Example 2: |
|
School “S” wants specific projects to
students. We propose innovative new projects that are career-oriented, for
hands-on work and guide the students to project completion. |
|
|
|
Example 3: |
|
A publisher has just received a life
sciences book from an author. We provide a critical review of the book. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
bioinformatic software/database testing services |
|
|
|
Example: |
|
Company “A” has developed a sophisticated
software and requires a critical beta testing. We put it through a series
of tests and provide a feedback on its quality and features. As a general
rule, we do not make comparisons with other software. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Life Sciences Consultancy |
|
|
|
Example: |
|
A shrimp industry company wishes to
demonstrate that their new additive to enhance the yield does not alter the
end-product. We perform gene-expression studies between untreated and
treated shrimp to show no lasting effects from the new additive, thereby
improving the confidence level of the consumer and the bottomline of the
company. |
