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.
Therapeutic antibodies play a key role in addressing unmet medical needs. Here, Dr Judy Chou, CEO, President and Board Member of AltruBio, Inc, explains how agonist antibodies show potential as a novel therapeutic approach in immunological diseases, helping to mediate interactions between circulating immune cells and influencing the intensity and…
The emergence of new antibody-based therapeutics, such as antibody-drug conjugates, alongside a continued drive towards alternatives to animal testing approaches, highlights the need for precise and sensitive tools enabling the identification and characterisation of the best drug candidates for clinical progression. Capable of keeping up with the evolving drug development…

Amidst a new wave of innovation in antibody research, this report highlights recent breakthroughs across fields such as cancer research and neuroscience, showcasing how advancements are redefining the precision and potential of antibody-based therapies.
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.
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.…
The researchers discovered that anti-PD-1 autoantibodies influence the outcome of Atezo/Bev therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Scientists have developed a monoclonal antibody drug that could help to prevent infection from Acinetobacter baumannii.
The expansion of Sino Biological and BioGeometry’s strategic partnership promises to accelerate drug discovery.
At AAIC 2024, AC Immune unveiled a new class of antibody drug conjugates, called morADC (Morphomer® antibody drug conjugate). In this Q&A, CEO of AC Immune, Andrea Pfeifer, discusses how morADC uses the capabilities of the company’s two discovery platforms to combine two highly selective molecules, resulting in drug candidates…
With increasingly rapid timelines for achieving IND-ready processes, a bottleneck has emerged in the provision of toxicology data to support INDs for new therapeutics and hence delivery of FIH studies, explains Alejandro Fernandez Martell and James Berrie from Lonza.
The mRNA vaccine candidate more effectively limited symptoms and disease duration in non-human primates.
The humanised antibody, Hv1Lt1, showed promising results in pancreatic cancer mouse models.
Tune into this episode where we investigate how antibody drug conjugates can be optimised, as well as the future of the field.
