From fragments to maps: scaling drug–target interaction data
Most drug–target data were never designed to be compared at scale. Pharmome mapping takes a different approach, building a shared dataset intended to support more predictable discovery.

A drug target is anything within a living organism to which a drug is directed and/or binds, resulting in a change in its behaviour or function.

Proteins are often studied as static structures, yet they behave dynamically in living systems. Tiffanwy Klippel-Cooper of OmnigeniQ explains how physics-based modelling could help researchers better understand drug targets.
Australian researchers have discovered a hidden role for the protein CD47 in driving the growth and spread of glioblastoma, revealing a new molecular pathway that could lead to more effective treatments.
Scientists have developed a new fluorescent imaging method to track the growth of Toxoplasma gondii in real time, revealing its unusual cell cycle, which could help to develop new effective treatments.
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown pathway that allows toxic proteins linked to Huntington’s disease to spread between brain cells.
