The new grant will help further understand the novel mechanism of action for DPEP-1 in kidney inflammation and its impact on CKD. Arch Biopartners is developing a pipeline of new candidates that inhibit inflammation in the lungs, liver, and kidneys via DPEP-1 pathway.
U-M will collaborate with Walden Biosciences in connection with Dr. Hayek’s ongoing research in the area of suPAR and Walden will provide materials, data analysis, and may perform experiments to support the work, including the role of polymorphisms in the PLAUR gene.
AI-generated target was identified through Benevolent Platform® and AstraZeneca's scientific expertise and rich datasets. The Benevolent Platform® predicted this novel target, which was subsequently biologically validated through AstraZeneca's rigorous experimental testing.
Under the agreement, Evgen will supply SFX-01 to support a potential future clinical trial led by University of Rochester Nephrology division chief Thu Le.
