Daiichi Sankyo

Strategic Area of Interest for Sponsored Research


Modality / Technology

  • Diseases that can be applicable by Daiichi Sankyo’s original modality suitable for protease
  • Drug delivery technologies for Daiichi Sankyo’s siRNA to the brain, heart, lung (macrophages), and kidney (tubular cells)
  • Proximity inducing heterobifunctional compounds and molecular glues (other than conventional E3 ligase degrader)
  • Novel technologies for identifying functional RNA-targeting small molecules
  • Novel genome/RNA editing technologies
  • Novel in vivo cell engineering technologies (e.g. CAR-T/M-based therapy)
     

Oncology Area

  • Tumor-specific binders
    • Unique methods for discovering tumor-specific binders (e.g. 3D conformation)
    • Novel multi-specific binders (e.g. proximity)
  • Tumor-specific functional modalities
    • Tumor microenvironment-dependent functional molecules (e.g. binding/assembling control)
    • Novel modalities with high penetration and retention in tumor stroma
       

Non-Oncology Area

(CNS, Liver, Fibrosis, HF)

  • Novel research for identifying disease-relevant targets using patient tissue samples
  • Novel in vitro and in vivo models that recapitulate human pathological mechanisms/conditions

Note: Prioritize research activity, which could be applicable to AAV or siRNA, although any modality is in focus.
