Three trends in the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) market 

Drug Discovery World

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are biopharmaceutical products in which a monoclonal antibody (mAB) is linked to a small molecule drug with a stable linker 1. To overcome this challenge, Synaffix has developed an innovative technology platform that can rapidly and efficiently convert any antibody into an ADC.
