I never did like the expression: “killing two birds with one stone.” Why
would anyone want to kill a bird, let alone two!? I do like the idea of
achieving two purposes with a single action, though, es...
I’d like to start off with one powerful example of why immunotherapy
work is so important. The story comes from Ron Levy’s work to use
antibodies to fight lymphoma. One moving case describes a 36 year...
The bioanalysis of large molecules has continued to grow in significance
with the increase in development of proteins as therapeutic agents. In
particular, the development of monoclonal antibody thera...
I’ve got a personal interest in Alzheimer’s research because I have
family members with the disease, so I’m always looking for breakthroughs

more difficult to produce consistently than our old friends, small
molecule drugs. And, manufacturers spend untold amounts of mo...
Quick question: what is a monoclonal antibody? What does it really do?
If you already work in biotherapeutics, or if your high-school biology
is within memory then you may know. But for the rest of us...
In 2013, seven out of the top ten drugs by revenue were
biopharmaceuticals rather than traditional small-molecule, chemically
synthesized, drugs. What’s more the top three drugs were all biologics
