Antibody therapeutics for COVID-19

10 September 2020 | By

In 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus sparked a global pandemic that is likely to continue into 2021. Effective therapeutics that treat the symptoms of the disease and prevent or treat the underlying viral infection are critically required. To meet this need, the global biopharmaceutical industry is evaluating over 50 monoclonal antibody…

Defusing antibody neutralisers in AAV gene therapy

10 September 2020 | By

Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapies allow for the treatment of a growing number of diseases; however, the presence of neutralising antibodies can lead to limitations of this technology, particularly for patients who may be excluded due to these pre-existing or developing neutralising antibodies. Recently, a study was published in Nature…

Under the microscope: Searching for optimised drugs: combining AI with human expertise

8 September 2020 | By

Applying artificial intelligence (AI) to small molecule drug discovery can provide a more rapid and cost‑effective route to discovering drug candidates. Here, Martin Redhead, Head of Quantitative Pharmacology at Exscientia, discusses the role of AI in drug discovery, the processes involved and how it can be used to address the…
