NanoDisk

NanoDisk, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on the commercialization and licensing of Nanodisc technology, a synthetic model membrane system developed by Professor Stephen Sligar at the University of Illinois. The company's platform utilizes membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs) to create soluble, discoidal lipid bilayers that stabilize integral membrane proteins in a native-like environment. This technology is widely used in drug discovery, structural biology, and the development of novel therapeutics and vaccines targeting membrane-bound proteins. NanoDisk provides specialized reagents and licensing opportunities to pharmaceutical and academic partners to facilitate the study of challenging targets such as GPCRs and ion channels.
