The development of antibody drugs has greatly depended on the establishment of new technologies and platforms, which are also the key factors that have led to the great success in the development of antibody drugs in the last three decades. Antibodies have become a pivotal role in the biopharmaceutical field, but antibody discovery has been constrained by a series of bottlenecks, such as time-consuming and inefficient screening process, poor tissue permeability, difficulties in modular application, and immunogenicity. This talk presents new solutions to these challenges through complete case studies, from antibody discovery to functional assays, antibody optimization, and up to application, using VHH antibody as an example. More case studies will show how new technologies and platforms can be applied to solve common problems in antibody discovery.
