Research Technician
Company Overview
Arpeggio Biosciences is a biopharmaceutical company using high-throughput transcriptomics to identify modulators of drug targets for the treatment of cancer. Using this unique approach, we have recently discovered a novel molecular glue degrader of the oncogenic transcription factor, Nrf2, which drives cancer progression in a large number of cancer types. Arpeggio is currently focused on defining the patient populations that will be most impacted by such a therapy by using a compendium of cell-based and biophysical approaches. We believe this work to be imperative for lead selection and will support future regulatory filings.
