We have gained the support of a strong group of expert investors and the capital to advance our small molecule pipeline, expand our protein folding simulation technology platform and bring additional expertise to our team.

Key Points: 
  • We have gained the support of a strong group of expert investors and the capital to advance our small molecule pipeline, expand our protein folding simulation technology platform and bring additional expertise to our team.
  • Sibylla is disrupting the protein degradation landscape by applying a novel mechanism of action that interferes with protein folding and thereby suppresses the expression of a disease-relevant protein.
  • Through their protein folding simulation technology platform, Sibylla identifies relevant and previously inexplorable folding intermediates for protein targets that are currently considered undruggable in their native state.
  • Vertis SGR funded the breakthrough discovery technology resulting from the collaboration, enabling the initial validation of Sibyllas technology.
