Workshop B 1.00-4.00
Considerations for the Linker Choice When Working with Novel Format & Payload Conjugates
Synopsis
Dive deep into the intricate world of linker chemistry when working with novel payloads. Discover the cutting-edge advancements in linker technology and gain practical insights into optimising conjugate design for a dual-payload approach. Linkers are essential in determining the stability, specificity, and efficacy of conjugates, making informed decisions critical for the successful development of novel conjugate
drugs.
Delve into key considerations:
- Uncover how to assess the compatibility of dual-payloads with a linker, ensuring both can be released without compromising the others stability and activity
- Optimise linker cleavage to achieve simultaneous or sequential release of payloads
