The next frontier of medicine is focused on highly targeted drug therapies that could expand the possibilities of individualized patient care. Today, scientists are working on a particular type of molecule that could harness multiple capabilities and treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in ways never done before.
In this episode, co-hosts Dr. Raven Baxter and Dr. Ronald Gamble explore how the latest advancements in antibody engineering led to multispecific antibodies—powerhouse molecules that can do the jobs of multiple drugs in one.
