🚨PhD Opportunity:🚨 Come and join us and @VijayChudasama_ at UCL Chemistry investigating new chemical methods for empowering antibody conjugates partnered with @GSK! 🧪 See findaphd.com for more info: findaphd.com/phds/project/3…

Very proud to share our latest collaborative paper with @BakerGroupUCL where we disclose the chemo- and regio-selective differential modification of cysteines on a native antibody; a first-in-class strategy! Led by the fantastic @yapyongyi! @UCLChemistry pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are all the rage, for good reason. They're generating stellar efficacy results in clinic, though they're not perfect. I looked through 40+ ADC companies founded after 2010 to see what each was trying to improve on and with what new approach. ⬇️

Great few days at @World_ADC hearing about the latest developments in the field of Antibody-Drug Conjugates and of course catching up with old friends 🔬🧑‍🔬

Welcome to our new post-doc within the Chudasama and Baker groups @suman_chembio! Suman will be working on protein modification throughout his post-doc. Looking forward to some exciting research ahead! 🧪 @VijayChudasama_ #research
