The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. A healthy immune system is naturally primed to eliminate malignant and abnormal cells through a synchronised and dynamic interplay between adaptive and innate immunity.

Closing the translation gap in oncology drug development

Drug Discovery World

Mice and humans share the same set of organs and over 85% of their genetic makeup, which enables researchers to study interdependent biological consequences of genetic variation and clinical responses to anti-cancer compounds before advancing to human clinical trials. Cancer is far more complex than the sum of its parts.

How mice with humanised immune systems are advancing cell-based immunotherapy

Drug Discovery World

By Courtney Ferrebee, PhD, Field Applications Scientist, Taconic Biosciences. As a result, researchers are striving to continually improve immuno-oncology approaches using the patient’s own immune cells to combat tumours. However, adverse effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity still occur.

Tension is mounting as nations big and small jockey around industry to ensure they are first in line to access a vaccine, should one prove to be successful against COVID-19. By the end of August, the World Health Organization (WHO) counted 33 vaccine candidates in some stage of clinical trial evaluation. The price of that prize is incalculable.
