Heptares creates new medicines targeting previously undruggable or challenging GPCRs, a superfamily of receptors linked to many diseases. We are pioneering a structure-based drug design approach to GPCRs, leveraging proprietary technologies for protein stabilisation, structure determination, and fragment-based discovery. Our partners include Shire, Cubist, Takeda, MorphoSys, AstraZeneca and MedImmune. Our objective is to build a broad pipeline of novel medicines to transform the treatment of serious diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, depression, chronic insomnia, addiction, migraine and diabetes.
