Collaborating to open up new frontiers

Beactica participates selectively in large-scale research initiatives. This enables the Company to be an active part in opening up new frontiers in the field as well as to train the next generation of drug hunters. These activities are essential to the future of the sector as well as to Beactica’s growth.

UbiMotif

Beactica Therapeutics participates in a Marie Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) called UbiMotif that aims to deliver 15 skilled early-stage researchers in the area of targeted protein degradation, an emerging field predicted to revolutionize how “undruggable” proteins can be targeted in diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

UbiMotif consists of nine academic beneficiaries (Copenhagen University, Institute of Molecular Biology Mainz, ETH Zürich, Uppsala University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Institute of Cancer Research ICR, Sapienza University of Rome, University of Dundee and University of Tartu) and two industrial beneficiaries (Beactica Therapeutics and GlaxoSmithKline). The FRAGNET project was active 2019–2024.
