“Linking” it All Together: Enhancing ADC Development with our NEW Panel

Webinar

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a targeted form of drug delivery that has been gaining increased interest and advancement in the oncology space. Traditional chemotherapy can expose healthy, non-cancerous cells to cytotoxic effects, resulting in numerous adverse events. ADCs, on the contrary, link cytotoxic agents to an antibody that targets a specific antigen on a cancer cell. This results in the precise delivery of the toxic agent to the targeted cancer cell of interest. The development of ADCs, however, requires multiple steps in a complex process that combines chemistry and biology for delivery and release of the drug.

The novel nCounter® ADC Development Panel was created to address complex questions critical for the success of Antibody Drug Conjugates throughout discovery, pre-clinical and clinical development.  The biological function can be assessed using quantitative molecular characterization spanning 6 stages in the lifecycle of the ADC, including:

  • Mechanisms of resistance
  • Immunogenic cell death
  • Aspects of the immune response
  • Traditional and emerging MOAs
  • Current and developing targets for ADCs

Join us for a detailed overview of both the contents and development process of the ADC development panel with Erin Piazza, Ph.D., Senior Bioinformatics Scientist with NanoString.
