Revolutionizing human medicine with molecular glues
Magnet Biomedicine’s modular TrueGlue™ technology enables the systematic discovery of molecular glues towards the treatment of human disease.
Our technology builds upon the discoveries of our Scientific Founders, who provided the seminal observations on molecular glues and have explored them for over 30 years.



THE SCIENCE
TrueGlues are compounds that induce cooperative interactions between multiple proteins
Targeted protein degradation has revealed the potential of molecular glues to treat human disease. Historically, TrueGlues have been found by chance; Magnet Biomedicine is changing that. The Magnet team is leveraging human genetics and proteomic data to select protein pairs for the development of monovalent molecular glues, altering the function of targets by degradation, stabilization, or inhibition. Magnet will pioneer the discovery of novel molecular glue medicines for the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and immune disorders. Rationally designed molecular glues will restrict drug effects to disease-relevant tissues, induce biological synergy, and target undruggable proteins.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Building upon recent advances in proteomics, screening, and bioinformatics, we believe the time is now to execute on this long-standing goal of rational molecular glue discovery
Our TrueGlue discovery platform combines state-of-the-art screening technologies utilizing diverse chemical libraries and human-biology-driven target selection. Our process integrates diverse streams of in-house and external data to discover and exploit novel molecular glue mechanisms of action. Magnet’s TrueGlue technology can be applied in an indication-agnostic manner to discover molecular glues with a wide range of target modulation, drug-like properties, and selectivity.
