The mission of the Center for Protein Degradation (CPD) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is to advance the rational design and development of targeted protein degraders and molecular glues, with the goal of modulating compelling therapeutic targets. CPD's leadership in these areas is supported by collaborations with other laboratories at DFCI, and we receive research funding and operational support from Deerfield Management and its affiliates.
CPD believes...
learning is paramount, failure is necessary to succeed, and humility is an asset.
every individual should have the opportunity to provide and solicit feedback, and asking for help is a strength.
in helping others succeed – we celebrate our successes together and recognize the contributions of the team.
in scientific excellence, challenging dogma, and asking “WHY?”.
our research must push scientific boundaries and accelerate the discovery of transformational medicines.
