A New Generation of Targeted Therapies for Cancer, Autoimmune, and Infectious Diseases

We are exploring the use of high affinity targeting ligands to deliver attached drugs specifically into diseased cells, thereby simultaneously improving their potencies and reducing their off-target toxicities. For this purpose, we have designed targeting ligands for many human cancers, viruses and virus-infected cells, bone fracture surfaces, inflammatory macrophages, regulatory T cells, cancer associated fibroblasts, myeloid derived suppressor cells, antigen presenting cells, and tumor associated fibroblasts among others.
