What are ADCs and why are they so groundbreaking?
Unlike traditional therapeutics, ADCs deliver cancer treatment that is both highly targeted and highly potent. Composed of a monoclonal antibody (mAb), a linker, and a toxin, ADCs directly attack cancerous cells while avoiding harm to healthy ones. These ‘magic bullets’ have shown great promise in treating cancer where other therapies have failed, and are now being explored as a treatment option for infectious diseases, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
A specialised team, a single objective
Our bioconjugation team has more than 35 years of collective expertise working specifically with ADCs. With backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, our scientists share one common goal, to transform the treatment of cancer and other infectious or chronic conditions. We work closely with you throughout your project to develop efficient processes, maximise effectiveness, and ensure scalable and repeatable results. ... Read more
Our dedicated ADC centre of excellence at Deeside, Wales (formerly ADC Biotechnology) has experience working with an extensive range of antibodies, as well as other targeting molecules, such as antibody fragments.
Our team has used a range of different conjugation technologies and has worked with many different classes of payload, from highly potent PBD’s to non-potent molecules; designing the right linker to compliment both payload and target. Read less
