An international team led by Australia’s Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) has created the first authoritative atlas for a class of enzymes that regulate almost every cellular process in the human body. The new atlas identifies 672 high-confidence E3 ligases and provides a new reference framework for disease biology and targeted protein degradation research.
Laigo Bio BV has extended its seed round to €17 million (US$19.8 million), after making progress with translating its novel E3 ubiquitin ligase targeted protein degradation technology toward the clinic.
Enodia Therapeutics SAS has raised €20.7 million ($25 million) in seed financing to advance its work developing novel small-molecule therapies for targeted protein degradation at the point of synthesis.

Targeted protein degradation has yet to notch its first approval. But with more than two dozen agents now in clinical trials, the strategy’s ultimate clinical validation appears to be a matter of time.
Orum Therapeutics Inc. on April 26 pulled the plug on a U.S.-based phase I study of ORM-5029, its lead oncology degrader antibody conjugate (DAC) asset, a decision that came months after the company first reported a patient death in November 2024.
Trimtech Therapeutics closed a £25 million (US$31 million) oversubscribed seed funding round to advance its targeted protein degradation treatments for neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases.
