Cellular therapeutics like CAR-T have revolutionised cancer treatment and hold immense promise in other areas of unmet medical need. Developing a new therapeutic cell line is no small task and requires the design and tracking of molecular tools, viral vectors, pluripotent stem cells and more. With projects spanning weeks and potentially multiple scientists, how can […]
DDW was delighted to work with CN Bio on an exclusive event which focussed on novel approaches to human lung disease modelling. The free event took place on 29 March at 3pm. It covered: Accelerating the discovery of new therapeutics for treatment of lung injuries using patho/physiology mimicking models. (Speaker Professor Wojciech Chrzanowski, Faculty of […]
In this free webinar, Dr. Christoph Herbel presents a newly developed workflow which combines flow cytometry–based screenings with high-parameter imaging to identify and validate new tumour markers in an unbiased approach. The event, Kill the tumour, spare the healthy tissue. Ultra high-content imaging enables target discovery for CAR T cell therapy, was hosted by DDW and supported by Miltenyi Biotec. It took place on 14 Dec, 4PM GMT, 5PM CET. Watch on Demand […]
Emerging advancements in protein biotherapeutics are driving the need for more sensitive and accurate bioanalytical methods for their quantification. Serving as an orthogonal technology to the traditional ligand binding assays (LBAs), LC-MS has been routinely adopted for quantitative measurement of protein levels in bioanalytical laboratories. While various MS approaches have been investigated by researchers, bottom-up […]
Advances in treatments for human diseases, including cancer, rely on the ability to gain detailed information into the function, modulation, and variation of the immune system in response to stimuli or immunological challenge. Insights derived from these data have, for example, revolutionized cancer treatment by enabling the development of adoptive cell transfer therapies, such as […]
Many small molecule inhibitors have been approved as cancer therapeutics, but they can confer mutation-based drug resistance and many potential cancer targets remain “undruggable”. One emerging cancer therapeutic strategy that shows promise for drug development is the use of targeted protein degradation (TPD). This approach has many advantages, including the ability to aim at previously […]
This event provided expert insight from Dr. Richard L. Easton, Technical Director of Structural Analysis at BioPharmaSpec. He provides data from studies with monoclonal antibodies, heavily glycosylated species and PEGylated species showing how the Maurice platform can be used to provide reliable insights into the structure of different types of biopharmaceuticals, including assessments of size […]
Navigating from target identification to validation can be a complex process, so it makes sense to find the right assays and models to validate or refute a hypothesis ahead of spending vast amounts of money on clinical trials. CRISPR-Cas gene editing has made an impact in this space with forward genetic screens being seen as […]
Covid-19 has highlighted the current operational vulnerabilities in pharmaceutical research and in the drug discovery pipeline. Bringing new drugs to the market is still a slow and expensive process, with far too high costs, failure rates and cycle times. With low reproducibility and inefficient processes delaying the path to approval, the pandemic is prompting a […]
Effective preclinical assessment of drug safety and efficacy is essential to help reduce the risk of drug-induced toxicity and late-stage drug attrition. Current preclinical tests for safety depend on in vivo testing in higher-order species to achieve translational accuracy; however, animal models are expensive and do not adequately recapitulate human physiology due to species differences.
