Receptor Occupancy Assays by Flow Cytometry: Benefits for Clinical Trials

XTalks

Both the areas of drug development and clinical trials are increasingly using in vitro assays to help determine the efficacy of an investigational therapeutic. All drug development processes evaluate a drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK) to gather data about its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in the body.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Potential solutions: For CRISPR systems, the likelihood of off-target editing has been shown to be influenced by a variety of factors, ranging from the design of the gRNA 1 and Cas9 protein 2 , to the targeted cell type 3 , to name a few examples. In vivo approaches involve delivering the gene editing components directly into the patient.
