SARomics Biostructures and Vipergen Offer DEL-based drug discovery services

Press release
Lund, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark – November 11, 2024

SARomics Biostructures AB and Vipergen ApS announced today a strategic partnership with the goal of offering enhanced hit and lead identification services based on their complementary technology platforms. By combining Vipergen’s DEL screening technologies with SARomics structural biology capabilities, the companies will enhance their drug discovery services by offering expedited hit identification and lead generation.

Vipergen’s high-fidelity DNA-encoded library (DEL) screening technologies allow for the identification of novel hit compounds by screening over 500 million drug-like molecules in a single tube or within living cells. By leveraging SARomics Biostructures’ structural biology capabilities, we can quickly generate detailed structural information, including mapping of binding sites and binding poses for the identified compounds. This combined information will significantly enhance and accelerate the subsequent lead generation of the identified hit molecules.

“The collaboration with Vipergen will leverage hit identification and lead generation towards challenging targets and accelerate the discovery of novel therapies,” commented Björn Walse, Chief Executive Officer of SARomics.


“Vipergen is pleased to enter into a strategic collaboration with SARomics, a recognized leader in the structural biology field whose high-quality proteins meet all requirements for successful DEL screens,” said Nils Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of Vipergen. “We are excited to leverage our collaboration with SARomics to facilitate even better outcomes for Vipergen’s drug discovery clients.”
