Lyophilizing ADCs – From Basics to Breakthrough
2026-02-24 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | https://www.califesciences.org/event/lyophilizing-adcs-from-basics-to-breakthrough/
Join this free 1-hour webinar to explore the unique challenges of lyophilizing cytotoxic agents and antibodies individually, followed by an in-depth look at the complexities of lyophilizing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
With 80% of marketed ADCs currently in lyophilized form, the session will place special emphasis on formulation and lyophilization strategies for these conjugates. Key issues such as aggregation, payload stability during lyophilizing, cake morphology, residual moisture control, and the preservation of biological potency post-lyophilization will be thoroughly addressed.
The Q&A session will be included at the end of the webinar too.

Hosted by o2h Ventures, a Cambridge-based specialist biotech fund manager deeply embedded in the UK life sciences ecosystem.
o2h Ventures invests in early to growth-stage biotech and life sciences companies, backing science-driven teams tackling meaningful challenges in human health. Beyond capital, we work hands-on with founders, supporting strategy, data generation, fundraising, and long-term company building. Our proximity to academia, founders, CROs, and industry partners gives us a ground-level view of where high-quality biotech is really being built.
The ChaiTime Portfolio Pitch Day was created as an invitation-only forum held on Friday afternoons at our Cambridge HQ. Its purpose was simple. Bring serious science and serious investors into the same room, without noise or theatrics. Over time, it has become one of the most trusted pitch platforms within the o2h ecosystem.
This January, as part of our Fund Launch Series, we are opening the room globally via Zoom.
Why attend

Early visibility into high-quality UK biotech that has already passed rigorous internal and external diligence.
Exposure to companies progressing beyond early validation, with clearer translational and commercial pathways.
Insight into the o2h Seven Sisters Growth Fund, focused on supporting later-stage biotech emerging from our portfolio

What to expect

Pitches from six carefully selected biotech companies from the o2h portfolio
Concise, science-first presentations focused on data, differentiation, and real-world impact

Enhancing Bioavailability and Manufacturability with Enabling Formulation Technologies for Oral Small Molecule Drug Product Development
2025-12-02 08:45 - 17:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront, 600 Airport Blvd, Burlingame, CA, 94010, United States
From Lead Optimization and Candidate Nomination Through Clinical Development
It is well known that a majority of small molecule late discovery and development pipelines are populated by compounds that are poorly soluble, and/or permeable. This has resulted in increasing use of established and emerging technologies to address these limitations. There are multiple ways that enabling technologies are impactful on the overall drug development effort, among them:

Rendering poorly soluble molecules into tractable entities, with respect to: Solubility, Supersaturation on dissolution, Absorption and PK profile
Enhancing the ability to efficiently modify and optimize the performance of drug products in response to pre-preclinical, preclinical and early clinical in vivo data
Helping to ensure that the dosage form(s) used in clinical development are appropriate to the target, with respect to pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles

The workshop will describe and discuss approaches, with case studies, that address the iterative, interdependent, multidisciplinary nature of effective drug product development, with focus on small molecules that require enabling technologies.
