What if tumor targeting selectivity was driven not just by expression, but by proximity? We introduce TAPAs—Tumor-Associated Proximity Antigens—spatially co-enriched with TAAs. Learn more on TAPAs + our lead program IDP-001 at #AACR2025 Posters: 2933, 4244, 4255, 5445, 6073

Targeting two proteins on the same cell surface via bispecific antibodies is enabling exciting opportunities for novel modes of therapeutic action in the clinic. In this review we highlight their growing impact from early discovery to late clinical stage. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jYkN8jWWJxM…

Super excited to share this announcement on the launch of InduPro! “We leverage inherent and induced proximity to modulate disease biology towards next-generation therapeutics” prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Former Merck scientists have raised $85M to map and drug protein interactions in cancer and autoimmune disease. One goal is to find new pairs of proteins that can be hit simultaneously for more targeted drugs. Read more in my exclusive for @endpts endpts.com/former-merck-s…

Our final version of our manuscript now out in @ACSCatalysis! Here we leveraged tissue-penetrating, deep red light-mediated photoredox catalysis for peptide stapling and protein labeling in patient-derived tissue systems. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

It’s been a long time coming! Our red-light photoproximity labeling method is on @NatureChemistry! We can form triplet nitrenes using low energy light, enabling its use in targeted labeling of local protein environments on live cells. nature.com/articles/s4155…

@NatureChemistry Great job, @malayoman, @FadNiyi, @OslundRob, our other collaborators (Nari Ryu, Aleksandra Olow) and to the Reichman group!

We often compare this to the goldilocks principle where the reactive intermediate half-life and rate of generation combine to play keys roles in profiling protein neighborhoods.

On the other end, using a peroxidase-based method we observed promiscuous labeling on both interacting cells leading to enrichment of 100s of proteins. While RFT and HRP both rely on phenoxy radicals, rate of generation is likely responsible for the different labeling patterns.

Protein communities that assemble between physically interacting cells play important signaling roles. In this preprint, we report a Flavin-dependent proteomic-platform to identify these synaptic protein environments. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
