Jean-François Mirjolet, PhD
18 Juin – 17h CEST
Bispecific compounds are now considered as a new therapeutic strategy in oncology.
A number of bispecific compounds are under development at various clinical stages and two have already been approved. Given that these compounds are antibody-like and species-specific, new tools are subsequently needed to characterize them on a preclinical level.
From in vitro models up to in vivo humanized mouse models, including imaging as an option to track immune cells, all of these strategies will be exemplified in the context of compounds that recruit immune cells against tumors.
Key learning objectives
- In vitro characterization
- In vitro pharmacology
- In vivo pharmacology (incl. Imaging)
