Advancing biologics discovery through developability and functional characterization

From molecular developability to functional activity, integrated characterization strategies help inform lead selection and optimization in biologics discovery.

Selecting promising biologic candidates requires more than evaluating target binding affinity and biological activity. Molecular stability, pharmacokinetic properties, binding kinetics, and functional responses can influence a candidate's suitability for further development. Combining computational analysis with biophysical and cell-based assays enables a more comprehensive assessment of these attributes during early-stage discovery.

This collection of scientific posters examines early-stage developability assessments, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) characterization, and in vitro functional evaluation, illustrating how complementary analytical approaches support lead screening, characterization, and optimization.

Download these posters to learn:

  • How computational and biophysical assessments identify developability risks related to aggregation, nonspecific binding, stability, and pharmacokinetic properties
  • How SPR enables characterization of binding affinity, kinetics, receptor interactions, and epitope diversity during lead selection and optimization
  • How in vitro assays evaluate the functional activity of antibody-drug conjugates, T cell engagers, and therapeutic antibodies targeting autoimmune and inflammatory diseases
