LETS TALK

Accelerate Your Research Project

Phage display technology is a potent technology employed in drug discovery to develop peptides and monoclonal antibodies that specifically and strongly bind to target molecules. Its applications span various stages of drug development, encompassing peptide and antibody discovery, drug candidate screening, and lead optimization. Researchers can screen phage display libraries using different biopanning methodologies to suit their requirements. However, the lack of a tailored phage display selection strategy often leads to peptides and antibodies with suboptimal pharmacokinetic properties that lack high binding affinity and specificity.
