Antibody Drug Conjugation

Antibody Drug Conjugation

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are antibodies armed with highly potent cell killing drugs used to target diseased tissues while leaving healthy tissue untouched. For nearly a decade, we have partnered with leading ADC technology companies and their licensees to develop robust processes used in preclinical, clinical and commercial supplies.

Pharma Solution has made over 300 batches of ADCs spanning over more than 30 different NCEs. We leverage this unparalleled experience to shorten development timelines whilst delivering robust processes for ADCs. As the market for ADC products expands rapidly, Pharma Solutions continues to evolve its services and capabilities in providing leading development and manufacturing experience and expertise.
