The future of lymphoma treatment

Drug Target Review

We use hydrophilic linkers, which prevent ADC aggregation and generate highly stable ADCs, in combination with a unique attachment site on the antibody to create ADCs that retain pharmacokinetic properties similar to the original unconjugated antibody. This helps to maximize the targeted payload delivery to tumor cells.

The new approach in cancer therapy with innovative mechanism-of-action for ferroptosis induction

The Pharma Data

In 2019, a team of researchers around Marcus Conrad, Director of the Institute of Metabolism and Cell Death at Helmholtz Munich, had already identified the first FSP1-specific inhibitor, known as iFSP1. Notably, during de-differentiation or metabolic rewiring, certain malignant cancer cells acquire an intrinsic vulnerability to ferroptosis.
