Featured in Parola Analytics, Julie Carlisle explores how new therapeutic modalities are reshaping drug discovery.
In this article, we explore:
Many disease relevant proteins were once considered beyond the reach of conventional drug discovery. Julie Carlisle explains how emerging therapeutic modalities are enabling scientists to target these previously inaccessible proteins, opening new possibilities for treating disease.
Technologies such as PROTACs, LYTACs and RIBOTACs are expanding the drug discovery toolkit and broadening the range of therapeutic targets. As these approaches mature, they are creating exciting opportunities for both innovation and investment.
As science advances, patent portfolios are becoming more sophisticated. Julie highlights the growing importance of layered IP strategies that protect not only compounds, but also platforms, mechanisms, biomarkers and therapeutic applications.
Julie specialises in the drafting and prosecution of patent applications with a particular emphasis on both organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. She has extensive experience of advising on infringement and validity issues, in particular providing Freedom-to-Operate searches and opinions. She also represents clients in EPO opposition proceedings and provides general advice to intellectual property, including international portfolio management, IP strategy and IP litigation.
