Unlocking The Pharmacological Potential Of Antibodies
Abalone Bio's CEO and co-founder, Richard Yu, Ph.D., explains the company's Functional Antibody Selection Technology (FAST) platform and its approach to developing a pipeline of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) mAbs.
Trust us. You'll want to read this editorial from Chief Editor Louis Garguilo, who was (gently) reminded he hadn't visited the subject of tech transfer in a while. He answers the questions both sponsors and CDMOs ask to gain the trust to make a tech transfer work for both sides.
Lumen Bioscience's SVP of production and development, Craig Behnke, Ph.D., explains how the company is cutting costs and rethinking upstream manufacturing with its algae-based production platform.
Conditionally active biologics (CABs) are an emerging class of therapies that can reduce off-target toxicity in the clinic, and they were a topic of conversation at the 2025 BIO International Convention.
Biotechs, first working closely with a CDMO’s sales manager, experience subsequent and sudden rejections of their projects. Did some of you just wince? If so, that might be because we are again hearing of a problem with sudden rejections after protracted discussions and even site visits. Part two on what is one of the biggest problems for outsourcing today.
