Tissue-based Biomarker Imaging Applications for Oncology Drug Discovery and Development

In recent years, many innovative immuno-oncology-based therapies are being developed to treat multiple solid and hematological tumors. As many of these novel therapies are seeking to rely on biomarker-guided patient selection, numerous challenges remain that make it difficult to visualize, detect, and quantify clinically-relevant biomarkers needed to advance drug development initiatives.

In this webinar, Joseph Kruger, Ph.D. addresses the challenges associated with detecting and quantifying drug targets and explore the limitations associated with traditional testing methods. We discuss how our tissue imaging services help establish PK-PD-efficacy relationships and predictive response profiles.

After this webinar, you will understand how to:

> Track therapeutic cells or viruses and visualize immune cells and oncolytic virus trafficking in preclinical models using our novel three-dimensional tissue imaging technique, cryo-fluorescent tomography (CFT)

> Quantify proteins in the tissue context, such as novel drug targets (eg., CD47, STING, etc.) and the therapeutic itself (e.g., mAb, ADCs, Bispecifics etc.) using Phosphor Integrated Dot (PID) IHC-based nanoparticle tissue testing

> Identify clinically-relevant biomarkers and understand contextual relationship of immune cells by combining Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with our PID technology
