    It's "Flashback Friday" featuring our San Diego facility tour event during #BIO last month. Guests were transported from the convention center to our state-of-the-art, clinical through commercial scale #biologics development and manufacturing facility in Sorrento Valley. Met with tasty beverages and appetizers, guests mingled with our #scientific and commercial leaders before heading on a tour of our process development and #analytical laboratories and #cGMP manufacturing suites. Thanks again to all who attended! If you're looking to scale-up your antibody program, come and take a tour and meet with our experts in San Diego today!

    At WADC in London our team presented a poster showcasing our unique ThioBridge™ conjugation technology that's been proven to improve the stability, potency and efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates (#ADCs).   ThioBridge™ addresses key challenges in ADC design and development by leveraging naturally occurring interchain disulfide bonds. This results in a more uniform drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) profile, improved linker stability and precise site-specificity, ensuring no deconjugation or cross-conjugation issues.   Biopharma developers: How might this technology impact your ADC pipeline? Let's discuss the potential for improved efficacy and safety profiles today!   Access the poster here to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eU8p5ima

    If you’re developing an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) to treat cancer, you need data-backed answers to these questions: -Is the antibody being internalized? -Where’s the therapeutic trafficked? -Is the drug actually killing cancer cells? And that’s where imaging and bioassays come in. Through a suite of imaging assays, our team of scientists can help you select your lead candidates from hundreds to a handful, making sure that the best candidate progresses to IND filing. We can provide real-time data on internalization, trafficking, tumor-cell killing, and a host of other cell functions. All of these powerful imaging assays and analyses come early on in the development process because we believe in starting smart, so you can progress fast to IND and beyond.

    Fixed cell immunocytochemistry is a respected industry tool that provides drug developers with early-phase data that helps with lead candidate selection. However, our technical experts think that live cell #imaging is even better. Live cell imaging will show you processes, like calcium signaling or an antibody-drug conjugate (#ADC) targeting cancer cells, in action. If you need to see cells internalizing an antibody in real-time, or a high-throughput assessment of cancer cell-killing by bispecifics, it can do that. Even quantification of ADCs destroying cells in a tumor spheroid, and Ca2+ signaling, trafficking, antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) or cytotoxicity (ADCC), can all be done using Live Cell imaging. See how our imaging capabilities can support your project today!- https://lnkd.in/ez2YMCCD #microscopy #drugdevelopment #bioassays #CDMO #CRO #ADCCDMO

    Solid data is at the core of every decision made in the drug development process. However, sometimes you need more visibility into your biologic's behavior than flow readouts can provide and that's where imaging can play an impactful role - because after all, seeing is believing. The 3D cancer spheroid featured in the graphic is literally a ball of cancer cells. We use this spheroid to model how well cytotoxic payloads and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) can destroy a solid tumor. The red dye is an apoptosis marker, and the green dye signals necrosis, making it easy to visualize just how effective the drug candidate is.  Utilizing the expertise of our imaging team, we can bring data to life, turning qualitative cell behavior into quantitative data by providing real-time information about an ADC’s mode-of-action in 2D, 3D and/or co-culture systems. This allows for a more confident lead selection, reducing the risk of future problems, and streamlining your ADC's development process.  Ready to see how our microscopy capabilities can help streamline the development of your ADC? https://lnkd.in/ez2YMCCD #microscopy #drugdevelopment #CDMO #CRO #ADCCDMO
