Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) hinge on the antibody, not merely the payload or linker. Antibody precision defines efficacy, safety and therapeutic window. Emerging antibody formats – bispecifics, conditional designs and TCR-mimics – expand target space, demanding rigorous engineering to realise next-generation ADC potential.

German antibody specialist YUMAB GmbH has inked a collaboration agreement with Japanese MOLCURE Inc aimed at using the company’s zero-shot AI technology for antibody discovery.

Antibody engineering?The development of therapeutic antibodies is a time and cost ­intensive process. Biological and physicochemical properties of the lead molecules ­influence almost every step in the development. Investing into antibody engineering and lead ­optimisation during early development pays off in later steps and does not only accelerate the programme, but also increases the chance of success.
