Learn how integrated antibody discovery and engineering strategies can accelerate the path from hit to optimized lead in less than 12 months while minimizing costly redesign cycles.

Developing therapeutic antibodies often requires multiple rounds of optimization after initial discovery. Many antibody programs face costly redesign cycles because key parameters such as affinity, developability, specificity, or manufacturability were not sufficiently addressed early in the process. These redesign cycles can significantly extend timelines, increase costs, and delay the progression of promising therapeutic candidates.

In this webinar, we will explore how integrated discovery and engineering strategies can help teams progress from initial hits to optimized lead candidates in under 12 months. Using real-world program insights, we will discuss how early developability assessment, multiparametric optimization, and platform integration can reduce downstream risk and accelerate antibody programs toward development.

At KACTUS, we specialize in high-activity recombinant proteins and enzymes to accelerate drug and therapeutic development. Our 3,000+ product catalog covers a variety of protein, species, tags, and labels. These rigorously tested products can be applied to a variety of research and drug development areas including antibody drug discovery, cell therapy, gene therapy, and mRNA therapeutics. Each product undergoes strict quality control for purity, performance, consistency, and stability of supply. We’ve developed an expertise in difficult-to-express proteins, including being the first to recombinantly produce full-length Claudin 18.2 protein. Since then, we’ve developed a large catalog of multipass transmembrane proteins, MHC complexes, and other challenging proteins and enzymes. Researchers also value our custom protein expression services, owing to our demonstrated expertise in complex protein expression and responsive support.
