Biomolecular condensates (BMCs) are crucial for cellular organization and function, and their dysregulation is linked to neurological, oncologic and inflammatory diseases. This highlights the need for advanced investigative tools leading to targeted BMC therapeutics. To address this need, Nereid Therapeutics uses Corelet™ technology and an automated high-throughput screening (HTS) platform to precisely quantify phase separation events and identify BMC modulators for previously undruggable targets. Hundreds of thousands of small molecules have been screened utilizing Corelet technology, yielding small molecule BMC-modulating compounds which serve as the basis for the development of targeted therapies for diseases with high unmet need.
