Using Small Molecules to Improve Drug Discovery

Though structure-based drug discovery has been long been used, technologic advances have given this approach greater power. ShouTi believes its next-generation, computational, structure-based drug discovery platform will allow it to develop small molecule drugs that are superior in safety and efficacy to biologic and peptide therapies its seeking to replace. We spoke to Raymond Stevens, CEO of ShouTi, about the company’s structure-based drug discovery platform, how it works, and why he believes it will be able to produce small molecule drugs that will be superior to biologics.
