    NGI and NBIS webinar on de novo sequencing and analysis

    Welcome to a webinar on de novo sequencing and analysis, a service that the National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) and National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS) offers to its users. De novo, which translates to “starting from the beginning”, refers to the process of sequencing a novel genome from an organism where no previous reference sequence is available. The de novo analysis strategy is divided into separate stages, starting with (i) sequencing, (ii) assembly, and finally (iii) […]

    Role of physiologically-based pharmacokinetics in regulatory submissions

    AbstractPhysiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) is an approach that help predict the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties of candidate drugs in animal/human and evaluate the effects of intrinsic (e.g. organ dysfunction, age, genetics) and extrinsic (e.g. diet, smoking habit, drug-drug interactions) factors, alone or in combinations, on drug exposure, during drug discovery and development […]

    Drug Discovery Seminars: An adaptable Drug Affinity Conjugate (ADAC) targeting CD40

    Proof of Concept and Pharmaceutical profiling Sara Mangsbo, Uppsala University Abstract: Much attention has focused on developing CD40 directed agonistic monoclonal antibody therapy. Monoclonal antibodies targeting CD40 have been profiled for their epitope specificity and isotype in relation to their agonistic potential. Still, clinical impact relies on a well-balanced clinical efficacy versus target-mediated toxicity. As CD40-mediated […]
