Research on cancer immunotherapy has firmly established immune cells as key players in effective cancer treatment. Peptide vaccines directly targeting immune cells have demonstrated immense potential due to their specificity and applicability, but developing peptide vaccines to generate tumor-reactive T cells remains challenging. WuXi AppTec contributed to a review article discussing various elements of effective …Read More >

In this webinar, our experts discuss recent advancements in peptide drug discovery, including the evolution of mRNA display and peptide DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology for hit generation and selection, as well as novel cyclization techniques and their combinations for peptide conformational rigidity. This webinar offers a comprehensive perspective on strategies that are crucial for achieving …Read More >

Despite the resurgence of interest in peptide therapeutics for historically “undruggable” targets, de novo discovery of peptide ligands remains a challenge.  Unlike traditional technologies, DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) predominantly employ unnatural amino acids, and the resulting cyclic peptide-like molecules which are generated display a wider range of chemical space and smaller ring sizes with improved physicochemical …Read More >

A new wave of drugs that achieves targeted delivery of radioisotopes is rapidly gaining momentum.  As the discovery pipeline widens and new drug approvals increase, the field is expanding and becoming more diverse in the strategies employed to deliver cell-killing radioisotopes. One area that is showing considerable promise is the incorporation of an isotope-chelating moiety …Read More >
