This project explores the potential of specific toxins from venomous animals, known as ToxMims, for drug discovery. By mimicking human signaling peptides, these toxins could lead to new treatments for diseases like diabetes, leveraging advanced sequencing and pharmacology techniques to identify and characterize them.
Venomous animals use a myriad of toxins to specifically disrupt the physiology and behavior of their prey.
Because of their high stability, potency, and specificity, toxins are important tools for biomedical research and have been developed as therapeutics for various human diseases.
However, contributions to date pale in comparison to future prospects.
We hypothesize that a small and essentially overlooked group of toxins, “ToxMims”, represent the most promising candidates for drug discovery an…
