Gene Therapy and Pharmacokinetics

Camargo

As with any standard drug treatment, gene therapies carry potential risks, including adverse events, unexpected gene modification (activation or inactivation), undesired immune responses, or complications with the genetic material. Gene Expression Considerations. Route of Administration Considerations.

How transcriptomics is driving drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

SB: Transcriptomics is the study of genomic RNA transcripts in a biological system. RNA transcript expression levels can provide insight into underlying biology – eg. which genes are upregulated, and which ones are downregulated – which is very useful when studying different disease states. SB: Certainly.

Personalised mRNA cancer vaccine prolongs survival in melanoma

Drug Discovery World

Vaccine strategies over the last 25 years attempted to induce immune responses against tumour-associated antigens that are not absolutely specific to the tumour,” said presenting author Jeffrey Weber, Deputy Director of the NYU Langone Perlmutter Cancer Center and Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Professor of Oncology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

Cash round sets up trial of InteRNA’s microRNA for cancer

pharmaphorum

InteRNA is focusing on the development of gene-silencing drugs based on microRNA, naturally occurring, non-coding strands of RNA that are thought to regulate gene expression in cells.

How big data analytics can make personalised care a reality

Drug Discovery World

We use MA plots, heatmaps, pathway maps, and trend plots of clusters (clusters for features with correlated response) as shown in Figure 2 but also UpSet plots, advanced Venn diagrams, to summarise overlap in differential features across multiple timepoints and study arms.

What spatial biology can tell us about disease and drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

Analysing spatial changes during disease progression or treatment response is key to fully understand pathologies. RA: With spatial biology being cross-disciplinary – in that it uses techniques in both gene expression analysis and immunofluorescence – is expertise in the field limited?
