Creating a new therapeutic drug can take a decade or more to get to patients. Antibody production and discovery play an integral role in setting the stage for success at later stages of development. If a high affinity, functional antibody candidate is discovered early, the timeline to a finished targeted and effective therapeutic drug may be significantly reduced. In this podcast we will go through the untold tales of antibody production and discovery, as well as how Twist has optimized a process for antibody production and screening for potential therapeutics.
