About Myricx
We are an oncology drug discovery company developing precision medicines using our proprietary N-myristoyltransferases (NMT) platform to build a pipeline of programmes. These are based on proprietary chemical inhibitors of NMT (NMTi), both as small molecule drugs and as cancer cell type selective novel antibody drug conjugate (ADC) payloads.
Programmes
Building on world leading research into the structure and function of NMT by our academic founder Professor Ed Tate we have developed highly potent and selective small molecule inhibitors of this enzyme. Using these as tools we have made breakthrough discoveries that reveal how inhibitors of NMT deliver a unique mechanism of specific cancer cell killing.
Team
Led by a team of internationally renowned scientists and drug developers with an outstanding track record of commercial and academic successes.
Our Purpose
To unlock the potential of N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) as a therapeutic target and develop precision oncology medicines for patients with cancers that are difficult to treat.
