- Executive Director (0379U), Molecular & Cell Biology - Research - 66217 About Berkeley
- The UC Berkeley Molecular Therapeutics Initiative (MTI) seeks to accelerate campus-wide drug discovery efforts by creating therapeutic modalities that overcome challenges in druggability and address unmet medical need.
- The MTI aims to bring together campus-wide efforts to take early stage and fundamental discoveries and act as a bridge to advance these efforts into drug discovery programs that can be translated into the clinic.
- The MTI will reinvent drug discovery at the interface of academia and biotech by building on unique strengths of UC Berkeley: a deep mechanistic understanding of the pathobiology at the heart of disease; the trailblazing nature of UCB science; the collaborative and interdisciplinary research that connects labs in cell, structural and chemical biology, chemistry and data science/AI; and the deep relationships between MTI faculty and the biotech startup world.
- It will unite geneticists to find and validate new drug targets; cell and structural biologists to reveal the molecular signaling logic of disease; neurobiologists to build organoid model systems; drug hunters to find early lead molecules; and chemists to create induced proximity compounds that deliver a pathological protein to the cellular machinery that can overcome its damaging effect.
