This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $303,445 to Endura Therapeutics Inc. aims to develop a next-generation sequencing platform for discovering small molecules that target RNA. The project addresses two key challenges: demonstrating that small molecules binding to messenger RNA can modulate protein expression in cells, and developing a high-throughput screening method to identify such molecules and their optimal RNA targets. The research will establish an assay to detect RNA-drug interactions and identify RNA structures amenable to binding. If successful, this project will establish a novel approach to RNA-targeted drug discovery, providing starting points for developing therapies against disease targets previously considered undruggable. The award period runs from May 15, 2025 to January 31, 2026.
