Avacta seem to be on at 4pm on the Thursday 4th and Victoria Juskaite, Principal Scientist Therapeutics will be presenting for Avacta.
Her contribution will be as follows:
Optimising Spheroid Co-Cultures & PDX models to Empower the
Translation of FAP-Enabled pre|CISION®-Peptide Drug Conjugates
• Highlighting the background of fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-enabled
pre|CISION®-peptide drug conjugates (PDCs) and the rationale for model selection
• Sharing best practices for developing co-cultures of tumour cells and human primary
FAP+ fibroblasts to assess bystander activity of PDCs in physiologically
relevant systems
• Characterising PDCs using CDX, PDX models, and spheroid co-cultures to better
understand their mechanism of action.
Pharma leaders from the likes of AZ,J&J,Roche, Merk and Novartis will be in attendance.
