Announcement

Sinopia Biosciences, Inc., a leading biotechnology company known for modernising novel therapeutics with the help of its exclusive LEADS® drug discovery platform, proudly declared their platform has been rewarded. The financial reward from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) to conduct research doubles the strength of the company and boosts the confidence of the team as well. NIGMS is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

This research grant will help the company modernise its data-powered drug discovery potential. It's like a token of appreciation for Sinopia. This is a push for the greater future of the vast healthcare sector, as more financial support and appreciation for work, the more definitive the development will be in the sector.

LEADS® Role

The omics technologies allow robust specification of cellular systems. Due to which phenotypes are not precise by a few markers but are featured by infinite cellular. LEADS® accelerates system-stage readouts to allow equal discovery with the intense mechanism insight. To date, the company has created a lengthy metabolomics dataset specifying a compact molecule library.

How will NIGMS’s grant change the future of Sinopia and its LEADS® platform?

The NIGMS grant will contribute to the next step of the platform development with the focus on establishing a unified workflow that performs excellent experimentation and computation to extend the metabolomics specification of small-molecule libraries. Phase 1 of the program will establish an intensive learning algorithm to theatrically extend the coverage of the biological and chemical area while cutting off the experimental stress. The main goal is to establish accelerated experimental screening smart strategies to smoothly scale throughout the wave of cell lines, systems and compounds.

The platform is already a qualified and promising one, holding a success report by the real-world drug discovery, which also involves addressing novel targets for various advancements and indications of established participants for Parkinson’s disease. According to the research printed in the publication was backed by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health.

The PhD, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Sinopia Biosciences, Aarash Bordbar, said, “We are thankful to NIGMS for their support. This valuable funding will allow the continuation of the development with certain upgradation to the LEADS® platform, as we have also continued to modernise our internal programs and achieve our mission’s main purpose to transform treatment of crucial conditions.”
