Accelerated ADC Development via Integrated Antibody Discovery Platform
Dr. Li Chen, Sr. Director of Biologics Discovery Dept., ProBio
Antibody-drug conjugates, also known as ADC, is a combination of traditional chemotherapy and targeted biological molecule. Recent clinical development brings lots of attention to this particular therapy in oncology filed. In this webinar, we will briefly go over the history and trending of ADC construct, followed by detail discussion of the tools and strategies for antibody discovery, as well as pharmacology assessment of antibody-drug conjugate.

Development and Manufacturing Strategies for Antibody-drug Conjugates
Dr. Ying Li, Director of Downstream Process Development, ProBio
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a novel class of drugs that combine the potency of small molecule drugs with the targeting capabilities of antibodies. ADCs can be inherently complex and heterogeneous which present significant challenges for the process development and large-scale manufacturing. This talk focuses on the strategies to address common challenges encountered in ADC CMC. Case studies will be presented to highlight how to optimize and ensure a robust manufacturing process for ADCs.
