This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program) provides $275,000 to Ubiquitx Inc., a New York-based small business, to develop a programmable, modular therapeutic platform for the direct modification of proteins of interest (POIs) using artificial intelligence, protein engineering, and mRNA therapeutics. The goal is to expand the applications of the company's Chimeric Ligands for Induced Proximity (CLIPS) platform, which has demonstrated the ability to rapidly and precisely edit POIs by removing or installing post-translational modifications. This Phase I project aims to design and implement CLIPS for additional post-translational modifications, as well as conduct in vivo target engagement studies to extend the platform and demonstrate its applicability in stabilizing β-catenin to initiate liver regeneration. The award period runs from July 2024 to June 2025.
