4. A: Cyclic Peptides: Discovery,
Development and Deployment
Workshop Leaders:
Dan Teufel, Head of Chemistry,
Bicycle Therapeutics Limited
Roger New, Co Founder & CSO, Proxima Concepts Ltd
HALF-DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Tuesday 5th July 2016
08.30 – 12.30
Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London, UK
Overview of Workshop:
A number of cyclic peptides are already known as successful
drugs for treatment of disease, and this workshop will discuss the
reasons why cyclic peptides will continue to show increased
potential as therapeutic agents in the future. The advantages
and disadvantages of working with cyclic peptides will be
discussed, and different methods for discovery of active
compounds will be described. This is followed by discussion
on preclinical development and manufacture of candidate
peptide-based therapeutics, and finally, examples will be
given of their application in treatment of models for disease.
Programme:
08.30 Registration and Coffee
09.00 Discovery methodologies
• Why cyclic peptides will continue to show
increased potential
10.00 The development process
• An overview of working with cyclic peptides
• Methods for discovery of active compounds
11.00 Morning Coffee
11.30 Applications in medicine
• Current and future applications in treatment
of models for disease
12.30 End of Workshop
About the Workshop Leaders:
Roger New studied chemistry at Oxford and obtained a PhD
in immunology at St Mary’s Hospital, London, before going to
work first at the Department of Biochemistry, then at the School
of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. His research activities have
centered on the creation of new technologies to improve the
therapy of disease, during which time he has devised patented
approaches to oral peptide delivery, vaccine carrier systems,
and a technology for discovery of new therapeutics. Dr New’s
laboratory was the first to demonstrate the in vivo efficacy of
liposomal amphotericin in leishmaniasis, a product which has
now been commercialised for over ten years. He went into
industry twenty years ago, fi rst in Biocompatibles Ltd, then
Cortecs, and is currently Co-founder and Executive Director of
the biotech R&D company Proxima Concepts Ltd.
Dan Teufel has over 15 years of experience in the field of
peptide/protein chemistry and biophysics, has authored
numerous publications and is inventor of a dozen patents.
He has earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK.
He has also worked at the Centre for Protein Engineering and
the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, Harvard
Medical School in Boston, and DSM in the Netherlands. Later,
he worked with one of the founders of Bicycle Therapeutics,
Sir Gregory Winter, on the early Bicycle Project. After the
foundation of Bicycle Therapeutics in 2009, he joined the
Company as its first scientist. He is currently developing several
Bicyclic Peptide candidates towards application in the clinic,
including toxin linked conjugates.
About the Organisations:
Proxima Concepts was founded in 2000, and has devised four
new technologies which it is exploiting in the biopharmaceutics
area:
1. Axcess – a vehicle for oral delivery of
peptides and proteins, including oral insulin in
Phase II
2. Vaxcine – an oil-based delivery vehicle
for oral administration of vaccine antigens, with particular
application to intestinal and respiratory diseases.
3. Mozaic – a discovery technology for identifying building
blocks which, in combination, can form therapeutically active
structures.
Bicycle Therapeutics is a UK biotech developing
highly constrained bicyclic peptides (Bicycles)
as a novel class of therapeutic. Bicycles
have the affinity and specificity associated
with antibodies, but are much smaller in size and can be
chemically synthesised. They have been shown to address
targets not easily tractable with small molecules (e.g. protein-
protein interactions).The company is exploring applications in
a number of areas where these advantageous features have
the potential to show significant benefit, including toxin-linked
conjugates for molecular targeted cancer therapy.
5. B: Cupid Cell Penetrating
Peptides – A Powerful New Tool
For Cellular Research
Workshop Leader:
Jonathan Ryves, Director, Cupid Peptides
HALF-DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Tuesday 5th July 2016
13.30 – 17.30
Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London, UK
Overview of Workshop:
Cell penetrating peptides (“CPPs”) have a huge role to
play in both research and drug delivery. However, the
majority of bio-medical researchers rarely use the most
sophisticated CPPs available and research using these
valuable tools has been slow. Whatever the reasons for
this, it has hampered progress in understanding how
proteins interact with each other inside human cells.
In this Workshop Dr Ryves will cover the important
aspects of Cell Penetrating Peptide (CPP) technology
and educate the audience on how to get the most
of the CPP’s available on the market today to further
develop their research in the peptide arena.
Programme:
13.30 Registration and Coffee
14.00 An introduction to CPPs
• What are CPPs? Discovery and
development
• A look at the different types of CPPs
and their strengths and weaknesses
• Using CPPs in Biomedical research
14.45 An introduction to Cupid
• Demonstrating its capabilities using
Cupid-GFP Protein
15.30 Afternoon Tea
16.00 The Future of CPPs - Therapeutic applications
• Cupid Stem Cell Project
16.45 How can CPPs work for you?
• Real problems and solutions
17.30 End of Workshop
About the Workshop Leader:
Dr W Jonathan Ryves founded Cupid Peptides in 2012.
He has over 25 years’ experience in Protein Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology working in UCL and Cardiff
University and has co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed
scientific publications. With over 10 years experience in
Cell Penetrating Peptide (CPP) research, he is pioneering
the practical use of “Cupid”, the most powerful form
of CPP, as a technology platform for Biomolecular
Researchers to understand protein-protein interactions.
About the Organisation:
Cupid Peptides designs and manufactures high-purity
synthetic molecules linking our proprietary CPP3 to any
protein.Weworkwithacademicandresearchinstitutions
keen to understand the role of these proteins in complex
processes such as cancer and inflammation. Cupid
Technology offers the researcher Speed – Cargoes are

proteins or parts of proteins can also be delivered into
cells allowing proteins to be functionally
‘mapped’ giving valuable insight into how
proteins are involved in disease.
