MONROVIA, CA, October 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) Puja Sapra, Director, Oncology Research Unit at Pfizer Will Give a Featured Presentation on "Design Considerations For Development of an Optimal Antibody-Drug Conjugate" at the 5th ImmunoTherapeutics & ImmunoMonitoring Conference (Jan 31 - Feb 1, 2013 in San Diego)
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising therapeutic modality for the clinical management of cancer. Dr. Puja Sapra will use case studies to elaborate on the multifaceted optimization required to yield a viable clinical candidate ADC. ADCs employing different mechanism of action (MOA) payloads will be used as examples to illustrate the need to match target biology with MOA of payload. Further, an update on clinical data of CMC-544, an anti-CD22 calicheamicin conjugate will be provided. Additionally, innovations and approaches in ADC development at Pfizer Oncology Research will be described.
Dr. Puja Sapra is the Director at Oncology Research Unit, Pfizer and oversees all antibody drug conjugate therapeutic programs at Pfizer ORU. Before joining Pfizer, Dr. Sapra led Pharmacology groups at Enzon Pharmaceuticals and Immunomedics Inc. and developed several oncology-based drugs that are undergoing clinical evaluation including anti-CD22 mAb, CD74-doxorubicin ADC, pegylated-SN38 drug conjugate, HIF1α, survivin and androgen receptor antisense oligonucelotides. Dr. Sapra is an author of over 40 scientific publications, book chapters or patents and recipient of several scholarships and grants including British Chevening scholarship, Alberta Foundation grant, NIH SBIR grant, European hematology association young investigator award.
Network with clinical immunologists, pathologists, and pharmacologists, as well as practicing clinicians and R&D scientists, to discuss the newest development in the field. Leading experts from the scientific and clinical arenas and industry will present about novel findings and developments in the constantly changing area of immunological assays and procedures.
