SUMMARY:Oncology Preclinical Models and Pharmacology Studies for Translational Research: Fundamentals\, Applications and Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:Developing effective cancer therapies remains a major challenge\, with low translational success despite advances in molecular oncology. A key barrier is the limited predictive power of traditional preclinical models and the need for robust pharmacological evaluation. \nThis workshop addresses these challenges by exploring preclinical models and pharmacology strategies essential for oncology drug development. With the rise of complex modalities including immunotherapies\, ADCs\, and cell-based treatments\, refining preclinical evaluation is critical to improve clinical translation. \nKey Topics\n\nPreclinical Development – Target validation\, mechanism of action\, efficacy profiling.\nIn Vivo Models – Xenografts\, GEMMs: strengths and limitations.\nPharmacokinetics – ADME\, PK/PD modeling for oncology agents.\nPDX Models – Preserving tumor heterogeneity for predictive insights.\n3D Cultures – Spheroids and organoids for physiologic relevance.\nOrgan-on-Chip – Microfluidic systems for dynamic tumor modeling.\nAI/ML Applications – Predictive modeling\, biomarker discovery\, patient stratification.\n\nREGISTER»

SUMMARY:Decoding IgG2 Disulfide Isoforms with Native CEX-MS and Advanced Peptide Mapping
DESCRIPTION:About this Webinar\nJoin Yann Leblanc from Servier R&D as he shares insights into characterizing IgG2 disulfide isoforms using native cation exchange chromatography-mass spectrometry (CEX-MS) combined with advanced peptide mapping. The IgG2 subclass presents unique structural complexity—like a molecular blueprint with multiple architectural variants—where disulfide-bonded isoforms (A\, A/B\, and B) form different structural scaffolds that may influence biological function and therapeutic activity. \nThis presentation demonstrates the analytical framework for mapping these structural variations. Using native LC-MS workflows integrated with Protein Metrics’ Byos and Byonic software\, the approach enables high-resolution separation and characterization of IgG2 disulfide isoforms while preserving their native structure. Discover how this method resolves\, identifies\, and quantifies these critical structural variants directly under near-physiological conditions\, providing the foundation for therapeutic antibody development. \nKey Takeaways:\n\nNative CEX-MS Workflow: See how volatile salts and pH-gradient Cation Exchange Chromatography preserve native antibody structure while separating F(ab′)₂ fragments for high-quality mass spectra.\nAutomated Data Analysis: Learn how Byos and Byonic software streamline intact mass deconvolution and disulfide bond assignment using the Isotope Envelope Confidence (IEC) scoring system.\nComplete Structural Mapping: Discover how middle-up strategies with peptide mapping provide detailed profiling of disulfide bonds\, revealing molecular heterogeneity important for quality control and biosimilar comparability.\n\nWhy This Matters\nDisulfide bond heterogeneity in IgG2 is a critical quality attribute influencing antibody biological functions. Having the right analytical blueprint enables biopharmaceutical scientists to monitor and control product quality during manufacturing\, understand the structural framework of isoform formation and rearrangement\, support biosimilar comparability studies\, and build more effective therapeutic antibody development pipelines. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Automating Peptide Mapping: From Bench to Batch in Half the Time
DESCRIPTION:Peptide mapping is indispensable for biotherapeutic characterization\, but manual sample preparation and data analysis can consume days of analyst time each week. In this webinar\, researchers from Genentech’s Protein Analytical Chemistry group share how they automated three core peptide mapping workflows — disulfide mapping\, reduced Lys-C PTM characterization\, and Asp-N glycation analysis — using the TECAN Fluent 1080 liquid handling platform and Byos software from Protein Metrics. The result: a validated 30% improvement in throughput\, freeing 2-3 days per week while maintaining analytical quality comparable to manual methods. \nKey Takeaways\n\nAutomation without compromise — See head-to-head chromatographic and quantitative comparisons between manual and automated preparations across all three workflows\, with RSD <15% for PTM quantification\nOne-click data analysis — Learn how preset Byos workflows transform complex disulfide\, deamidation\, and glycation analysis into a streamlined drag-and-drop process with compliance-ready reporting\nReal-world time savings — Understand exactly where the 2-3 days per week are recovered: 7-9 hours from sample prep automation plus 1-2 days from standardized data analysis and reporting\nTranslatable methods — Walk away with a practical framework for automating your own peptide mapping workflows\, including design considerations for buffer exchange steps and multi-enzyme digestion protocols\n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Recent Developments in Clinical Pharmacology: Dose Optimization\, PBPK Modeling\, TQT Waiver\, Pediatric Dose Projection\, and AI/ML Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:Clinical pharmacology continues to advance through innovative approaches that enhance drug development efficiency and decision-making. This session will highlight the expanding role of quantitative methods across the development spectrum—from first-in-human to post-marketing. Topics will include PK/PD and PBPK modeling for dose and schedule optimization\, use of simulations in lieu of clinical DDI studies\, approaches to TQT study waivers\, and pediatric dose projections. The session will also explore emerging applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in pharmacometrics and illustrate model-informed strategies supporting NDA/BLA submissions. Collectively\, these discussions will demonstrate how model-informed drug development (MIDD) is reshaping clinical pharmacology and enabling more efficient\, science-driven regulatory and clinical decision-making. \nSession Topics: \n\nOverview of the Clinical Pharmacology Package for NDA/BLA Submissions\nPK/PD Modeling in Dose and Schedule Optimization During Early Clinical Development\nPBPK Modeling in Lieu of Clinical DDI Studies: Current Status\nPath to TQT Study Waiver: Data Requirements in Research and Development\nPediatric Dose Projection: Role of Modeling and Simulation\nDevelopments in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Pharmacometrics\nModel-Informed Clinical Pharmacology Development: Case Studies from First-in-Human to Post-Marketing\n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Biodistribution\, Target Engagement and PK/PD for Antibody/ADC/Nucleotide/Novel Protein-Based Therapeutics: Quantitative Assessment and Translation
DESCRIPTION:Predicting pharmacokinetics (PK)\, pharmacodynamics (PD)\, and target engagement in tissues that cannot be sampled clinically is a major challenge in drug development. This workshop will present current modeling and experimental strategies to assess the biodistribution of large molecule therapeutics\, such as antibodies\, peptides\, and nucleic acid-based medicines. A key focus will be on translating these quantitative assessments from preclinical models to support and accelerate clinical development. The session is intended for scientists and researchers working in preclinical and clinical PK/PD. \nTopics: \n\nPBPK modeling of antibody drug conjugates and T-cell dependent bispecifics in heme and solid tumor indications\nMechanistic modeling of orally administered protein therapeutics for gut site of action\nPK/PD of nucleic acid based medicines delivered directly to the central nervous system\nBrain delivery and biodistribution of systemically administered antibodies\nPre-clinical imaging to assess biologic biodistribution\n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:
