Browse our archive of webinars on pharmaceutical and biomedical research from collaborations between pharmaceutical companies, government, biotechnology companies and academia to create new drug discovery opportunities.
This webinar will highlight the importance of top-quality starting materials required for consistent, reproducible drug discovery assays. Topics include blood products, the latest in magneti...
Antibody-based therapeutics are helping patients across a wide range of disease areas, from cancer, such as Rituximab treatment of CD20-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, to infectious di...
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the single largest class of druggable targets in the human genome. Of the 390 or so druggable and non-olfactory human GPCRs there exist many whic...
This talk reviews the advances in the field of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs). It is divided to five topics: (1) Ligand-induced Target Protein Destabilization; (2) Small-Molecule L...
NanoMIPs, often called “plastic antibodies”, are made using a proprietary self-assembly process where the template molecule is incubated with monomers, each of which is free in so...
Proliferation biomarkers are proteins that are up-regulated in growing cells. Immunological staining of tumor tissue can provide an indication of the aggressivity of the tumor and provide in...
In-vitro epithelial barrier models that are more representative of in-vivo tissues are urgently needed. Here we present extracellular matrix-supported intestinal tubules in a perfused microfl...
Advanced Cell Diagnostics’ RNAscope products and assay services are utilized widely for tissue-based gene expression analysis in early target validation, preclinical animal efficacy and...
The field of melanoma has been transformed by the parallel development of effective immune and targeted therapies. There is now strong evidence of cross-talk between oncogenic signaling...
There are many tumor biomarkers but, they mostly reflect tumor mass or past growth, when what is more important is to obtain an indication of future growth and therapy response.Proliferat...
Cellular research is optimal when using physiologically-relevant cell phenotypes and genotypes of human origin. This assertion has accelerated the adoption of primary cells, stem cells, and i...
The study of a single cell, the fundamental unit of our complex bodies, has become an important field in cellular biology, and researchers are using single-cell analysis to shed new light on...
High-throughput sequencing technology such as RNASeq and whole genome sequencing has enabled deep characterization of health and disease states. Biomarker discovery by these means has only h...
The cancer drug discovery landscape is shifting. While research continues to grow in cost and complexity, the pace of development has never been faster. Biopharmaceutical companies can&rsquo...
Stable cell lines are critical tools of cellular assays in drug discovery and development. Over-expressing cell lines are needed to screen for hits, while functional cell lines are needed fo...
Rapid, accurate estimation of relative ligand affinities offers the potential to allow computational methods to direct drug design and development. Towards this goal we have developed t...
The quest for alternatives to animal safety testing has fueled the development, characterization, and validation of many new technologies. There have been advances in cell and tissue models...
We recently reported that HDAC6 is involved in the regulation of a number of immunosuppressive checkpoint proteins, including the Program Death Receptor Ligand 1 (PD-L1). This protein is one...
The use of primary cells in vitro is compromised by the limited quantity of cells that can be isolated from one donor, a lack of or very restricted proliferation capacity (e.g. hepatocytes)...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the Methyl CpG Binding Protein 2 (MECP2) gene. In mouse models of RTT, deficits in long-term potentiation (LTP) at...
The liver plays a critical role in the metabolism and clearance of more than 70% of marketed drugs. Furthermore, toxicity to the liver is a major reason for preclinical and clinical drug fai...
The continued evolution of precision medicine from the early successes seen in Oncology to other areas of medicine, in particular, Chronic Disease Management, is dependent on the efficient t...
Whether you are performing killing assays, characterizing the tumor microenvironment, or investigating immunogenicity, primary cells are essential for the discovery of new therapeutics. Conc...
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity worldwide. Both preterm labor and neonatal injuries have been linked to inflammation. Of all mediators of inflammati...
One-third of FDA-approved drugs target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), transmembrane cell surface proteins that recognize small molecules and polypeptides with diverse chemical scaffolds...
Structure based drug design is now well established as a highly efficient approach in pharmaceutical research. The approach uses atomic level detail structures of target proteins, most...
Over the past 25 years surgically dependent animal models have expanded from a small, almost niche area in pharmaceutical research to an important component of most research portfolios. In t...
