1:30 PM – Thought Leader Interview (20 mins)
Title: Engineering the Future of ADCs: Innovation, Efficacy, and Clinical Integration
Interview with: Dr. Victor Jeffrey Leyton, Associate Professor, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Ottawa

 

2:00 PM – Panel Discussion (30 mins)
Title: Overcoming Design and Clinical Challenges in Antibody–Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

Discussion Topics:

  • How tumour heterogeneity, the tumour microenvironment (TME), and cell-surface biology should inform ADC design
  • Current limitations in how biologic and chemical domains collaborate – how do we bridge that gap?
  • Lessons learned from clinically successful (and unsuccessful) ADCs: what the biology told us in hindsight
  • Role of real-world clinical data in rethinking preclinical models and linker–payload matching
  • Vision: where does the field go in 3–5 years in tumour-selective chemical engineering?

Moderator:
Victor Jeffrey Leyton, Associate Professor, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Ottawa
