Turning science into business: An optimised alternative to antibodies

Drug Discovery World

DS: What motivated you and Dr David Bunka, CTO, to create Aptamer and did you imagine you would one day be operating on such a global scale?    I quickly recognised the commercial value of aptamers as being able to address the gap in the market where antibodies fail to perform, and together we established the business to begin aptamer development.

Receptor Occupancy Assays by Flow Cytometry: Benefits for Clinical Trials

XTalks

Both the areas of drug development and clinical trials are increasingly using in vitro assays to help determine the efficacy of an investigational therapeutic. All drug development processes evaluate a drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) to gather data about its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in the body.

Transforming Biomanufacturing: Potential of Cell Free Systems

Roots Analysis

Overview of Cell Free Systems Cell-free systems are ­in-vitro platforms which allow occurrence of biochemical reactions in the absence of living cells. It is worth mentioning that the first reconstituted system, Protein Synthesis Using Recombinant Elements (PURE) , was developed in 2001.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

Further discovery of PD-1 and CTLA4 as negative immune regulators led to the development of a new class of cancer therapeutics, namely the immune checkpoint inhibitors 5,6. Between 2017 and 2020, the number of IO therapies being developed has increased significantly from 2030 (for 265 targets) to 4,720 (for 504 targets).

which removes the mandatory requirement for animal testing in the development of drugs for toxicity where enhanced performance is proven using in vitro alternatives. The technology offers features for cell and gene therapy developers and manufacturers, such as end stage deployment at the clinic or hospital.
