This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), provides $298,915 to Cyrus Biotechnology, Inc. to develop advanced uricase enzyme variants for improved treatment of gout. The key objectives are to engineer uricase proteins with enhanced stability, reduced immunogenicity, and extended half-life, which can address the limitations of current recombinant uricase therapeutics. The research involves computational protein design, screening for beneficial mutations, and creating albumin-binding domains to shield the uricase from antibody recognition. This work aims to expand treatment options and provide a safer, more effective therapeutic alternative for patients with severe gout.
