Accelerating Target Validation for Therapeutics With Engineered Cell Libraries

One approach to develop drugs for infectious diseases involves a comprehensive understanding of human-pathogen protein interactions, as targeting host proteins helps reduce the possibility of drug resistance by creating a more significant evolutionary barrier for the virus.

One of the challenges with this approach comes when validating candidates from virus-host protein interaction studies, as multiple potential host factors must be screened in parallel using CRISPR screens that are difficult to perform due to scale, bandwidth and time constraint limitations.
