Discovering safe and effective treatments for rare diseases presents a number of challenges, beginning with the sourcing and integration of diverse data sets that inform #drugdiscovery. We are excited to share our research on an experimentally validated approach to generating automated biological evidence using knowledge graphs has been published in Nature Communications. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Healx team members who are driving this novel approach forward. Check it out here. https://lnkd.in/eq-_YiyY

🚀 New Breakthrough in Computational Drug Discovery! 🚀 Exciting news published in Frontiers in Pharmacology! A cutting-edge study has identified HLX-0607 as a candidate for treating autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) through innovative computational drug discovery approaches. ADPKD is a rare kidney disease associated with the progressive growth of kidney cysts and eventually renal failure. To address the significant unmet need for new therapeutic approaches, Healx applied multiple computational drug discovery workflows which identified HLX-0607 as a candidate treatment. Further computational and experimental approaches were applied to understand the mechanism of drug action. Dive into the details of this groundbreaking study and its potential impact on ADPKD treatment.

🌟 Join Us in Making NF Research Visible! 🌟 We're thrilled to share this inspiring video created by our dedicated Healx team as part of the "Make NF Research Visible!" campaign by the Children's Tumor Foundation. This initiative sheds light on the importance of Neurofibromatosis (NF) research and the profound impact it can have on countless lives. In this video, our team members Simone Manso Emma Davies Ian Roberts and Hanna Orr MFPM answer a crucial question: "Why is it important to make NF research visible?" Their insights and passion highlight the urgent need for awareness, funding, and breakthroughs in NF research. 🎥 Watch the video to hear their powerful messages and learn how you can support this vital cause. Together, we can drive progress and hope for those affected by NF. https://lnkd.in/gmbpkmpt #MakeNFResearchVisible #Neurofibromatosis #Healx #Research #Awareness #Hope

We are proud to share how Healx employees and their families united to support NF Awareness Day on May 17th. As part of our commitment to raise awareness for neurofibromatosis (NF), we joined forces with the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF) for their 'Shine a Light' campaign. In a beautiful display, buildings in Cambridge, UK, and Valencia, Spain, were illuminated in blue and green, the official colors representing NF. Healx is dedicated to support those affected by this condition and our ongoing partnership with CTF. By the lighting of these landmarks, we hope the awareness continues to spread, fostering community support, and advance the fight against NF. Together, we can make a difference. 💙💚 This article in the Cambridge Independant showcases this commitment: https://lnkd.in/eVastwPH #Healx #ShineaLight #NFAwareness #CTF #Neurofibromatosis #CommunitySupport #GlobalInitiative #BiotechCares

🌟 Shining a Light on NF Awareness Day 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that, as well as the team turning up and turning blue and green in the office, members of the Healx team and their families helped support the global "Shine a Light" campaign on 17th May, lighting up buildings in blue and green for NF awareness day. A heartfelt thank you to Miguel Pignatelli, Daniel Mason and Megan Pullein, and everyone else who made this possible, as well as the City of Arts and Sciences and Veles e vents building in Valencia, Spain, the Cambridge Corn Exchange and Ely Cathedral in the UK who took part!🎗️ Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder that affects millions worldwide, and this initiative helps to raise visibility and support for the NF community. By illuminating landmarks around the globe we all help spread awareness and advocate for better understanding and treatment of NF. Let's continue to support and shine a light on NF together! #NFAwarenessDay #ShineALight #EndNF #ChildrensTumor #NervetumoursUK Children's Tumor Foundation

Today is#NFAwarenessDay The Healx team came together at our Cambridge office to support Neurofibromatosis (NF) Awareness Day by proudly wearing blue and green. NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form on nerve tissue, and raising awareness is crucial for driving research and support for those affected. By wearing these colors, we join the global community in shining a light on NF and demonstrating our commitment to this important cause. According to Tim Guilliams, CEO and co-founder of Healx: “This day is so important to all of the team here at Healx because our most advanced asset is on course to enter a Phase 2 clinical trial in the coming months for NF1. All forms of NF are devastating diseases and there are millions of patients who are waiting for new treatments. Events like this remind us why we get up in the morning and come to work - to move those potential medicines closer to patients and do what we can to support the overall NF community goal to end NF.” A big thank you to everyone who participated and helped spread awareness. Let's continue to educate ourselves and others about NF and work towards a future where we can better understand and treat this condition. #NFAwarenessDay #EndNF #TeamSupport #WearBlueAndGreen #ChildrensTumor #NervetumoursUK Children's Tumor Foundation
