Unlocking challenging targets for structure-guided drug development

A leading biotechnology company, PUXANO is trusted by pharmaceutical and biotech leaders worldwide to drive structure-based protein research, enabling breakthroughs in vaccine and antibody development and small-molecule drug screening.

Our key mission is to make challenging targets accessible via a powerful discovery platform that seamlessly integrates in silico protein design with advanced nanotechnological and biotechnological tools for in-depth experimental research. We empower partners through three core platform activities:

  • Structure-Guided Antigen Design for vaccine and antibody development
  • Membrane Protein Research & Tool Development for high-throughput drug screening
  • Protein Structure Determination from primary resources
 

The PROCONDOR platform

PUXANO has developed a proprietary technology platform which fuses biotechnology, nanotechnology, and AI to revolutionize protein design and structure-based research to get access to those challenging targets where standard workflows fail. 

We hereby use a multi-layered approach that is specifically tailored to target proteins such as outer membrane proteins, glycoproteins, GPCRs, ion channels and fragile protein complexes. We have build a protein design toolbox for generating soluble analogues, multimer-stabilizing scaffolds, multi-epitope scaffolds, multimer-generating scaffolds or fiducials to build antigens for vaccine and antibody development, facilitate high-throughput drug screening or accelerate structure-guided drug development. 

Via our cryoEM grid portfolio, we can overcome all major problems in cryoEM sample preparation: low sample yields, complex dissassembly, preferred particle orientation. Furthermore, we are the first company that gained access to proteins isolated from native resources, enabling the study of patient-derived proteins beyond amyloids.  

Our research and platform technologies are trusted by top pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research centres worldwide. We can proudly state that we have accelerated drug discovery pipelines of targets that were blocked in the past and we thrive in making the impossible possible.

How to work with PUXANO

Partnering

At PUXANO, we begin by thoroughly analyzing your protein target to design a customized workflow tailored to your needs. Our Design-to-Structure or Gene-to-Structure workflows encompass every critical step:

  • Protein Design
  • Protein production 
  • Biophysical characterization
  • Structural validation

Our focus areas include vaccine development, antibody development, and small-molecule drug screening of the most challenging targets.

To streamline collaboration, we offer three types of framework agreements, designed to match your project’s scope, timeline, and objectives. Whether you’re exploring new targets or scaling up discovery efforts, our flexible partnerships ensure seamless integration with your research and development goals.

Access to the PUXANO grid portfolio

PUXANO graphene grids can directly be purchased. Access to our other cryoEM grid portfolio can be obtained via licensing or partnering.

Your trusted partner

PUXANO aims to be your long-term partner in early-stage drug development projects. By partnering with you early on, we go the extra mile to ensure our technology platforms and expertise provide you with the strategic advantages needed to outperform competitors and achieve lasting success. Your success is our priority, and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way.
