Blacksmiths of Modern Medicine
For thousands of years, blacksmiths have made critical contributions to society through hard-work and invention by producing items necessary for everyday life such as cooking utensils, nails, weapons and horseshoes. They craft these items from raw metal by heating it in a forge until it can be shaped by their tools. At Blacksmith Medicines, we seek to honor that age-old tradition of hard-work and invention through the discovery and development of small molecule inhibitors of metal-dependent enzymes using our modern toolset.
