Søren Bregenholt, Chief Executive Officer at Alligator Bioscience, elucidates how creating bispecific antibodies that target both tumour-specific antigens and CD40, a receptor on the immune system’s dendritic cells, is a new approach that aims to trick tumours into telling the immune system how best to attack.
Anirban Datta, Head of Discovery Biology at Verseon International Corporation, details how recent breakthroughs are bringing once-distant possibilities, such as testing drugs more efficiently and restoring lost organ function through implantation, closer to reality.
Renowned immunologist Dr Yang Liu shares his insights into the preclinical studies behind the development of drug candidates targeting the CD24/Siglec-10 pathway. He discusses the technical and regulatory hurdles of antibody development, how these therapies compare to existing immunotherapies, and the potential for personalised cancer treatment through biomarker development.

Ludwig Cancer Research researchers have designed and validated a computational pipeline which integrates molecular and genetic analyses.
Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a promising cancer treatment gaining recognition in precision oncology. It utilises radiolabelled antibodies to deliver targeted radiation to tumours, with success in hematologic cancers. However, its use in solid tumours has been limited by off-target radiation and toxicity, with few clinical trials advancing beyond phase II. Alexander…
Biolojic Design is redefining antibody therapies by creating “programmable” antibodies that intelligently target well-validated autoimmune and oncology pathways. In this Q&A, CEO and founder Yanay Ofran, PhD, describes Biolojic’s groundbreaking approach, which leverages AI and machine learning to design antibodies capable of adjusting their behaviour based on their biological environment.…
Tune into this episode which explores how engineered tRNAs could treat thousands of rare diseases and cancers that share the same mutation.
Drug resistance is the leading cause of poor clinical outcomes for cancer patients undergoing targeted therapies. While current treatments are designed to inhibit targets along established oncogenic signalling cascades, a new, exciting approach is to address non-oncogene-related resistance mechanisms that operate in parallel to the “classic” oncogene pathways. Blocking transcriptional…
In this Q&A, Dr Alan D. Roth, CEO of Oxford Drug Design, explains how his AI drug discovery company, which develops novel molecules for use in cancer treatments, has completed the first in vivo validation in its potential first-in-class approach against multiple tumours. A 28-day mouse trial showed clear efficacy…
Vittoria Biotherapeutics is pioneering a novel form of CAR-T therapy for T-cell lymphoma using CRISPR gene editing. Here, co-founders Nicholas Siciliano and Marco Ruella explain how their approach promises to overcome tumour resistance, while also offering hope for new ways to treat solid cancers.
Tune into this episode where we investigate how antibody drug conjugates can be optimised, as well as the future of the field.
Researchers suggest that integrating genetically diverse mouse models with cell-based assays will better replicate human diseases.
As deeper understanding of disease makes the development and commercialisation of oncology drugs more complex, developers are under more pressure than ever to deliver value-based treatments. In this article, Rebecca Goldstein, Senior Principal, Strategic Consulting at Envision Pharma Group, explores anchoring a programme to patient experience as a solution.
The new technique could be adapted to produce a wide range of antibodies to combat chronic conditions like HIV.
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.
