Following the Scottish Research and Drug Development Forum meeting, DDW’s Diana Spencer provides a snapshot of drug discovery in Scotland. With over 150 pharma services/supply companies and 19 universities, Scotland is one of the most advanced life science sectors in the UK and the world. There are various other phenomics projects currently ongoing.

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.

To mitigate these risks, clinicians are turning to other immunomodulators, such as cell-based therapies, bispecific antibodies, and cytokine treatments. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like pembrolizumab (Keytruda) have numerous benefits and have become a standard of treatment for many patients. Jespersen et al.

Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. This continues to be the standard of care.
