About Peptone
Peptone builds a Product Engine that measures and models intrinsically disordered proteins and uses the results to design small-molecule drug candidates. The engine combines measured ensemble biology, experimental physics, AI and computation, and translational work.
The company's stated focus is hard-to-treat cancers, with programmes listed for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (AR-NTD), MYC-driven solid tumours (c-Myc) and TDP-43 proteinopathy in ALS and frontotemporal dementia. Its pipeline is organised around these targets. Backers listed on the site include F-Prime Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Hoxton Ventures, Walden Catalyst, the Banga Family Trust and Taplow Blue Capital.
The company is registered in the United Kingdom, with its registered seat in Mansfield. The website also lists offices in Bellinzona, Switzerland, and San Francisco, USA. Founded in 2018. The website states that it is not currently advertising vacancies.
