\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\tThe goal is to identify compounds that share a mechanism of action that could enable Omnia to further optimize their activity against TB. The funds provided by the Tres Cantos Open Lab Foundation will support a visiting scientist to come to GlaxoSmithKline’s R&D centre in Tres Cantos (Spain) to pursue their project as part of a Drug Discovery team and to tap into GSK’s resources and facilities. <\/p>\n
“This collaboration will be an important validation of Omnia\u00b4s technology, which has the potential to dramatically reduce development timelines for novel TB treatments by optimizing and de\u2010risking drug candidates in the pre\u2010clinical phase of development” said Dr. Lluis Ribas, founder and CSO of Omnia Molecular. <\/p>\n
“TB remains a global scourge which requires concerted effort to develop effective medications. Through this interaction we hope that harnessing complementary technologies will accelerate the process of discovery and drug optimisation” said Professor Leszek Borysiewicz, Trustee and Chair of the Governing Board, Tres Cantos Open Lab Foundation and Vice\u2010Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, <\/p>\n
Omnia Molecular was founded in 2005 by Dr. Lluis Ribas and is a spin\u2010off from his work as principle investigator at the Barcelona Institute for the Research in Biomedicine after 18 years experience with Aminoacyl\u2010tRNA synthetases at the Massachusettes Instutute of Technology (93\u201097) and The Scripps Research Institute (97\u201003). <\/p>\n
Omnia Molecular designs and develops novel anti\u2010infectives targeted at difficult\u2010to\u2010treat infections in hospital, in particular those caused by pathogens that have developed resistance to existing antibiotics. Omnia’s business model is to co\u2010develop with pharma industry partners and out\u2010license pre\u2010clinical candidates after proof of efficacy in animal infection models. <\/p>\n
Candidate compounds are synthesized and optimized using a proprietary biotech platform that measures drug effect in human cells in the pre\u2010clinical phase of development. Omnia\u00b4s competitive advantage is to shorten development time\u2010lines and reduce risk in the later stages of development. <\/p>\n
The Tres Cantos Open Lab Foundation is focused on providing funding and support for scientists, academics and institutions to develop and advance new ideas that could lead to new medicines to treat diseases of the developing world. Researchers are invited to submit projects for collaboration and funding, to be reviewed by the Foundation’s Governing Board and Trustees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
