Known information
Ali Ozes holds the positions of founder, CEO, and board member at his biotech company, where he has pioneered the development of a scalable method that identifies novel small molecule binding domains with direct nanomolar (nM) binding to target transcription factors (TFs). His innovative platform facilitates the discovery of small molecule binding sites within intrinsically disordered domains, aiming to develop more specific and safer therapies by targeting disease-causing TFs. Ozes has successfully developed three first-in-class inhibitors aimed at treating fibrosis (IPF & NASH), Ewing’s Sarcoma/Prostate Cancer, and Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), focusing on transcription factors previously considered undruggable.
