UK biotech Engitix, which is pioneering extracellular matrix (ECM)-driven drug discovery, today announced a strategic research collaboration and option agreement with UK pharma major GSK (LSE: GSK) to identify and validate novel therapeutic targets driving liver fibrosis regression.
This alliance brings together Engitix’s proprietary human ECM Platform and deeply phenotyped multi-omics datasets with GSK’s drug development capabilities, to address a critical gap in fibrosis drug discovery by focusing on mechanisms of liver fibrosis regression, rather than progression, and enable the discovery of high-confidence, functionally validated targets grounded in human disease biology.
