OMass Therapeutics is a biotechnology company that develops novel medicines using native mass spectrometry and other biophysical technologies to study protein interactions.

OMass Therapeutics

OMass Therapeutics is a private pharmaceutical company, focused on structural mass spectrometry to discover novel medicines. The company uses its suite of proprietary technologies based on high-resolution mass spectrometry to study intact protein assemblies. The technology enables detection of drug leads that not only bind to the target complex, but also exert a functional effect through modulating complex formation. These methods are being applied to drug discovery for a variety of complex targets, including membrane receptors, addressing severe unmet medical needs. OMass is backed by Syncona Ltd and Oxford Science Enterprises.

Our Director of Protein Biochemistry and Structural Biology Katharina Dürr will be presenting at the XXVIII EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry in Rome on 4th September. 
 
Katharina’s presentation, titled ‘Cryo-EM enables Structure-Based Drug Discovery for Membrane Protein Targets’ will take place at 14:00 CET at the Palazzo dei Congressi.

We are thrilled that OMass has been selected by Fierce Biotech as a “Fierce 15” honoree for 2024.

The annual Fierce 15 companies are selected for being the most innovative and promising biotechnology companies in the industry and highlights OMass as one of the most ambitious and successful next generation biopharma companies.

Ros Deegan, Chief Executive Officer at OMass Therapeutics, commented: “OMass is redefining drug discovery for previously intractable targets by fundamentally innovating the process and it is an incredible honour to be recognised by Fierce Biotech as one of the Fierce 15. Over the past year OMass made significant progress in translating the outputs of our proprietary platform into an exciting pipeline of novel drugs including advancing the development of our lead program, an insurmountable antagonist of the MC2 receptor for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia towards the clinic. This recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team and underlines our progress so far as well as our ambition to become a fully integrated pharma company bringing to market medicines that meaningfully improve patient lives.”

Congratulations to all of this year’s Fierce 15!

Are you counting down to the #2024ParisOlympics? 
What is your #favouritebiscuit? 
 
At OMass Therapeutics we take #biscuits and #Olympics very seriously. 2024 #biscuitsolympics are in full swing! 
So far, there have been easy wins for firm favourites (Nutella biscuits, dark chocolate digestives, Pick Ups… ). Surprising heavy defeats (Hobnobs) by last minute entrants (almond & pistachio cookies). After heavy thrashing of old school favourites (Jammie dodgers, custard creams and chocolate bourbons), a few distraught loyal supporters had to be reassured that losers will not be banned from the weekly shop (phew!). 

It is no surprise that #OMassians strongly favour #chocolatecoveredbiscuits, resulting in a very #biased contestant pool going into the quarterfinals (7/8!). This makes the semis and finals … well… more or less interesting, depending on your view! Whichever way, many more biscuits will be eaten over the next few weeks until the one and only #BiscuitOlympic champion is crowned!

A huge thank you to the #CultureClub for year round efforts organising all our activities!

We recently collaborated with Waters Corporation to develop a novel enhanced declustering device which provides sustained activation of protein ions in the first pumping stage of the mass spectrometer. This provides efficient detergent removal from membrane proteins and enables native top-down measurements of drug interactions obtained from multiplexed compound libraries.

Congratulations to our team: Kleitos Sokratous, Feng Qu, Aisha Ben-Younis, Mario Hensen, Ali Jazayeri, Idlir Liko and Jonathan Hopper.
