Following the Scottish Research and Drug Development Forum meeting, DDW’s Diana Spencer provides a snapshot of drug discovery in Scotland. Although target directed drug discovery is the most common approach, it is slow and expensive and has high attrition rates. Phenotyping, in contrast, can produce a hit/lead without a target.

Dr Laura Moriarty, senior marketing manager at Bio-Rad, looks at the impressive immuno-therapeutic potential of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs). Though their bispecific nature complicates large-scale production and purification workflows, with challenges such as antibody chain mispairing, bsAbs have come a long way since first developed.

Evolution of such defence mechanisms can lead to multi-drug resistance, further disease progression, and cancer metastasis. Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. This continues to be the standard of care.

In the last few years, researchers have become interested in using in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA as a drug delivery agent. It is important to highlight that IVT mRNAs are structurally similar to natural mRNAs and can be used to express proteins through genetic engineering.
