Optimisation de l’efficacité antimicrobienne des dons de granulocytes destinés à la transfusion.

Le but de cette recherche est d’améliorer les propriétés thérapeutiques d’un produit sanguin qui peut sauver des vies des patients avec une infection sévère due à un système immunitaire affaiblie. Ces patients ont un nombre insuffisant de neutrophiles ou des neutrophiles qui ne fonctionnent pas très bien. Les neutrophiles sont des globules blancs qui jouent […]

Applying state-of-art NLP models to molecular representation

Molecular generative methods are at the heart of our computational platform. We use cutting edge deep neural networks in order to generate unseen molecules based on existing conditions or molecular space. Since external projects typically require different architectures, we are continuously expanding our generative methods toolbox with new approaches. This project aims to augment our […]

Development of a specific targeted therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma – Year two

The global burden of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing as it has become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths and the fifth most common cancer worldwide. HCC is heterogenous, arising in the setting of various chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. Patients with cirrhosis who develop cancer […]

Multiplexed quantitative proteomics approaches to characterize residual host cell protein impurities in biopharmaceutical processing

Many drugs, such as those made of antibodies, are produced using cells from bacteria and other organisms. Companies such as BioVectra use this approach to produce antibody drugs efficiently and cost-effectively. At the end of the production process, residue such as protein from the “host” cells (called host cell proteins, or HCPs) must be removed […]
