Discover the potential of PROTACs, a breakthrough technology that targets specific proteins for degradation. Learn how PROTACs can be advantageous in therapeutic development when compared to traditional small molecules and how Charnwood Discovery uses assay pipelines to develop novel PROTAC molecules. We will illustrate real-world applications, demonstrating the power of the technology for targeted protein degradation (TPD) projects. In this context, we will show how sample preparation and target protein analysis using the Simple Western™ Jess platform can be automated with liquid handling solutions, improving reproducibility, reducing hands-on time, and making research in this area more efficient.

In parallel, we will dive into the world of protein purification, a crucial process that ensures the production of high-quality proteins for therapeutic applications. Learn how high-throughput purification techniques can be used to accelerate, scale up and simplify the purification of proteins.

Stay at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation with automation and discover how it can improve your research.
