Neochromosome and Sumitovant Biopharma announced a successful partnership to accelerate protein drug discovery and improve manufacturing

Neochromosome, Inc. (EFL Life Sciences, ’20) announces partnership with Sumitovant Biopharma, Inc. to accelerate protein drug discovery and improve manufacturing. This collaboration combines Neochromosome’s neoYeast™ platform with Sumitovant’s DrugOME™ computational ecosystem to identify novel proteins that would benefit from man-made non-canonical amino acid chemistries.

Neochromsomone, led by Leslie Mitchell, uses synthetic biology technologies to create entire chromosomes designed de novo to be modular and orthogonal to the host cell.
