Nanodisc, Inc.

Nanodisc, Inc. owns an exclusive, world-wide commercial license to all applications of Nanodiscs™ – nano scale, discoidal structures composed of specially engineered proteins and phospholipid bilayers. “Nanodiscs™ were discovered and developed by Dr. Sligar, Company Co-Founder, Professor at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and a principal investigator in the federally funded Nanotechnology Center (NSEC) at Northwestern University. Nanodiscs™ offer pharmaceutical researchers and developers a vastly superior way to work with “cell membrane-associated molecules” (such as receptors, ion channels and enzymes), generally amphipathic molecules which offer exciting potential as drugs and drug targets but which are difficult and expensive to study with traditional methods. Because Nanodiscs™ offer naturalistic presentation of target molecules in a soluble form, they allow scientists to study and use membrane proteins in whole new ways to discover drugs. Naturalistic presentation and solubility also support the creation of novel therapeutics utilizing or consisting partly of Nanodiscs. The Company’s current technology allows the manufacture of Nanodiscs™ achieving industrial scale at extremely low cost with excellent precision.
