About
Vicinitas Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing precision medicines based on targeted protein stabilization. Its proprietary platform uses Deubiquitinase Targeting Chimeras (DUBTACs) — small molecules that rescue proteins erroneously tagged for degradation by the cell's ubiquitin-proteasome system, restoring healthy protein levels rather than destroying disease-causing proteins as most targeted-protein-degradation approaches do. The science was pioneered in Daniel Nomura's laboratory at UC Berkeley. Vicinitas targets diseases driven by the loss of functional proteins, including cancers and genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis. The company launched in July 2022 with a $65 million Series A financing co-led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Deerfield Management, with participation from Droia Ventures and the Berkeley Catalyst Fund. It is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
