About Casma Therapeutics, Inc.
Casma Therapeutics, Inc. is developing novel cellular degradation approaches based on the autophagy pathway to open new target areas for drug discovery and development that will profoundly impact the lives of patients. Autophagy is a conserved cellular process that contributes to overall cellular homeostasis. The autophagy machinery targets large and complex disease targets such as organelles, protein aggregates and large signaling complexes and before directing them to the lysosome for elimination. By selectively degrading disease targets by autophagy, Casma expects to arrest or reverse the progression of disease in multiple oncology, inflammation, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders.

In their recent Nature paper, Casma Founders Jim Hurley and Andrea Ballabio describe the cryogenic-EM structure of an MTORC1 megacomplex. A molecular description of this massive complex is helping us understand the regulation of the TFEB transcription factor and dependence of TFEB phosphorylation on FLCN and the RagC GDP state.
