Getting precise: how humanised models aid in biologics drug discovery
Humanised immune system (HIS) models have enabled numerous in vivo evaluations of immuno-modulating biologic drugs and ongoing improvements continue to extend their utility. Paul Volden explores the application of HIS models in precision and personalised medicine with a focus on biologics, including how HIS models are used, why they are…

Bringing native analysis into the fast-moving world of biologics
For the past thirty years, native mass spectrometry has grown in both scope and reach in labs across the globe to encompass larger and more challenging molecular complexes. However, up until now, the throughput of these techniques has been slow and manual. Christopher Nortcliffe discusses ways that native analysis is…

Network-driven drug discovery
Target-driven drug discovery, in which the starting point is a specific protein target hypothesised to play an important role in disease, has been the dominant paradigm for the last few decades. However, phenotypic-driven drug discovery, which does not rely on a specific target hypothesis, is starting to regain traction for…
