Cryptome (ASX: CRP) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Institute of Molecular Bioscience (IMB) to collaborate on the identification of cardiovascular therapeutics.
The company will combine the high throughput screening capabilities of Cryptomics platform technology, which is based on the identification of small protein fragments with previously undiscovered therapeutic activity, with the IMB's compound libraries, to identify compounds with therapeutic potential in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
"Bringing together IMB's novel compound libraries and our screening capabilities will make a powerful combination in a most important clinical area," said Cryptome's acting CEO Prof Mathew Vadas.
