Brain Biology and Chemistry

Presentation

« Brain Biology & Chemistry » team belongs to the « Lille Neuroscience & Cognition » research center and is located in Lille, France.

The team is composed of an Inserm researcher, eleven professors and associate professors, two hospital practitioners. It benefits from the technical support of seven people and welcomes many students: from master degree, PhD students to post-doc fellows.
Our multidisciplinary team brings together chemists, biologists and spectroscopists.

The drug discovery process, from fundamental biology to the discovery of drug candidates, highlights the expertise of our team.

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by common biological hallmarks such as inflammation, aggregation of altered proteins, modification of cell and vesicular trafficking, cellular (or neuronal) degeneration leading to cognitive impairments. We want to design and caracterize new molecules active on these hallmarks. To do this, we have identified targets of interest on which we are focusing our efforts and we will continue to define relevant targets using Omics approaches on patient samples. New emerging targets are under studying.

More specifically, we are studying targets linked to defects in cell trafficking and their involvement in protein homeostasis, such as LRRK2 or alpha synuclein for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, the Hippo pathway in Huntington's disease or sigma-1 for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. Then we develop the evaluation tests (enzymatic, biophysical or cellular methods) and test collections of compounds. Molecular modeling and medicinal chemistry allow us to optimize the compounds and go from hits to leads. Of greatest interest in neurodegenerative diseases is the study of modulators of protein-protein interactions. For instance, we are developing TEAD modulators or photo-switchable compounds capable of destroying protein aggregates. Autophagy modulating compounds are being studied for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. One of these compounds is now in phase 2. Pharmacological studies and ADME Tox provide drug candidates.
