Executive Interview – MISSION Therapeutics

MISSION Therapeutics, a Touchstone Innovations (AIM: IVO) investee company, is a Cambridge-based drug discovery company that is uniquely placed at the forefront of deubiquitylating enzyme (DUB) drug discovery and development. Since inception in 2011, MISSION has built and developed a proprietary chemistry platform and significant know-how in the generation of potent and selective small molecule DUB inhibitors. Ubiquitin is a small protein found in the vast majority of tissues and is involved in numerous cellular processes, including DNA damage and cell proliferation; DUBs are proteases that cleave ubiquitin from protein/other molecules. Hence targeting ubiquitin through the inhibition of DUBs holds the potential to generate novel drugs to treat cancer and other unmet medical needs, including neurodegenerative disease, inflammation, fibrosis, muscle wasting and infectious disease.
