Shifting the ADC focus from antibody to payload

Drug Target Review

With an extensive background in small molecule chemistry, bioconjugation and protein science, these expert teams are leading efforts to place payload development at the centre of ADC innovation. The ADC itself is not necessarily a large molecule – it’s a small molecule with aspects of a large molecule, and vice versa.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

Most targeted cancer therapies used today operate by inhibiting targets along well-known oncogenic signalling cascades. The reactivation of oncogenic signalling upstream or downstream of the driving oncogene is a well-studied source of resistance to targeted cancer therapies.
