Exploring the potential of ADCs beyond oncology
Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are already deployed as part of the roster of oncology treatments, but here, Mike Ward, Head of Thought Leadership for Life Sciences & Healthcare, Clarivate, looks into their potential to help treat a whole range of other diseases and conditions. He discusses the barriers and enablers…
Restoring TERT to attenuate ageing hallmarks
In this Q&A, Dr Ronald DePinho of MD Anderson elucidates their preclinical proof-of-concept that adjusting TERT levels could be a viable therapeutic approach for mitigating age-related diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
Supercharging conventional monoclonal antibodies
In this Q&A, Krishna Polu and Dennis Pedersen, senior leaders of Commit Biologics, which is backed by Novo Holdings and Bioqube Ventures, elucidate how their technology differs from other existing therapeutic platforms and highlight its implications for the treatment of both cancer and autoimmune disease.
The power of big data to advance genomics into clinical care
The integration of genomics into patient care will lead to more precise, personalised treatments. In this Q&A, Hylton Kalvaria, Chief Commercial Officer of Helix, explains how the Helix Research Network is creating a large-scale clinicogenomics dataset to advance research into molecular and genetic determinants of disease risk and drug response.
Translating ‘nature’s cues’ into breakthrough immunotherapies
Discover how Cue Biopharma harnesses the curative potential of the body’s intrinsic immune system to develop treatments for oncology and autoimmune diseases. Here, Anish Suri, Chief Scientific Officer of Cue Biopharma, explains how its platforms and biologics are designed to selectively modulate disease-specific T cells to restore immune balance, aiming…
Part three: pragmatic guidelines to getting the best out of LLMs
There have been a slew of announcements over the past few months from AI-led biotechs around the potential of Large Language Models (LLM) in early drug discovery. In the third of a three-part series, Dr Raminderpal Singh presents some pragmatic guidelines for scientists in accessing and obtaining value from LLMs.
Women in STEM with Juliet Williams
As part of our series highlighting women in STEM, we spoke to Juliet Williams, Head of Research at Kymera. She discusses what inspired her early passion for science, the power of mentorship and what excites her most about the future of targeted protein degradation – and its potential to deliver…
Liquid biopsy helps advance oncology drug development
In this exclusive interview with Elicio Therapeutics, we explore the transformative potential of liquid biopsy in oncology drug development, particularly spotlighting its application in Elicio’s AMPLIFY-201 study of ELI-002, a promising therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate.
Unleashing the potential of lab-grown recombinant polyclonal antibodies
In this Q&A, Sheila Keating, Vice President of Immunology at GigaGen, a Grifols company, explains how its developments in recombinant polyclonal antibody therapies are helping to build a pipeline of highly effective treatments for a wide range of diseases, including the hepatitis B virus.
Part two: how ChatGPT enriched animal study results
Recently there has been a flurry of announcements from AI-led biotechs around the potential of Large Language Models (LLM) in early drug discovery. In the second of a three-part series, Dr Raminderpal Singh presents an example of usage of ChatGPT, which demonstrates how accessible LLMs have become for lab scientists.
Could illuminating the surfaceome help find new targeted cancer therapies?
At the heart of precision oncology is the need to increase our understanding and knowledge of surface proteins found on tumour cells. Here Roman Thomas, CEO of DISCO Pharmaceuticals, explains how it is using cutting-edge technology to explore the surfaceome – a map of the proteins on the cell’s surface…
How MMR-deficient colorectal cancers regulate their growth
Understanding how MMR-deficient colorectal cancers drive tumour growth and avoid immune detection could pave the way for personalised cancer medicine.
Brain organoids: a fascinating and powerful tool for drug discovery
Human brain organoids are complex in vitro tools derived from stem cells, designed to model the molecular basis of neurodevelopment and the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. By mimicking the function of the human brain, in both health and disease, their application in drug discovery holds significant potential for identifying new…
