AI Target Identification: A novel approach to drive drug R&D in IPF?

Within the realm of lung diseases, developing new drugs to treat Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) remains a formidable challenge. Characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue, IPF significantly impairs breathing and has a median survival rate of just 2 to 3 years post-diagnosis. Current therapeutic options are limited, often providing only marginal relief while […]

TherapeutAix will be at the ERS International Congress 2023 taking place in Milan, Italy from 9-13 September. The Congress, hosted at MiCo, will bring together the world’s respiratory experts to showcase the latest advances in respiratory medicine and science. The theme of this year’s Congress is ‘Pollution, climate change and sustainable developments’ and will look at the […]
Exciting news for inhaled lung fibrosis therapies

Last year we made a series of posts highlighting the opportunities and challenges of developing inhaled therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In this blog, we provide an update on the most recent developments in inhaled IPF therapies. To recap the opportunities and challenges, the inhaled route offers the advantage of delivering a medicine directly […]
Did you know that TherapeutAix offer a project management service?

In this role, we provide oversight and co-ordinate activities of providers from within and outside our network to ensure timely and efficient provision of fit for purpose data. We believe that, by bringing the contributors together with regular meetings, we generate a value that is greater than the sum of the parts. Three projects we […]

The report of that successful meeting has just been published in Drugs […]
What’s it like to work with us?

What’s it like to work with TherapeutAix, you may ask? While we have quite a bit of information on our website, here’s how a typical client of ours may use us in support of their R&D project. Initial contact We usually start with an initial video call to get to know each other, understand […]
One Project, Many Customers
In theory, the drug discovery and development pathway is not complicated. You start with an exciting idea where biology meets disease, target a mechanism, and identify and optimise a molecule that can modulate the mechanism to treat the disease. Theoretically, it would work that way if not for different stakeholders expecting different data to justify […]
Reflections from ECM2022, Copenhagen, July 2022

The Extracellular Matrix Pharmacology Symposium 2022, aka ECM2022, took place in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago. The focus of this three-day meeting was very much on the role of collagens and other extra-cellular matrix components in health and disease. What did we learn? A lot about the basic structure and function of matrix proteins, […]
