Our expert speakers will delve into strategies to enhance product usability, streamline regulatory approvals, or optimize user experience. This event provides the latest strategies, tools, and innovations to advance human factors and UX in medical device de…

Session DescriptionVisualizing the extracellular matrix (ECM) in real-time has long been a challenge. Dr. Kayvon Pedra’s group has developed a novel, cell-impermeant fluorophore that red-shifts and activates upon binding glycans. This allows for seamless, wash-free imaging of glycosylated ECM architecture—from in vitro models to in vivo mouse tumors—providing a powerful new tool for live fluorescence microscopy. Highlights of the presentationA cell-impermeable small molecule fluorophore turns on and red-shifts upon binding glycosylated biomolecules.Application of the dye to live biological samples enables wash-free visualization of extracellular matrix structure.Observations demonstrate no toxicity, a broad substrate profile, deep tissue penetration, and negligible photobleaching in a vari…

Through focused discussions on innovative strategies, new technologies, and quality partne…

Recent advances in chemical biology and protein engineering are expanding the boundaries of which proteins can be modulated pharmacologically. Multifunctional small molecules (such as molecular glues, targeted protein degraders, and allosteric modulators) are enabling precise control over protein stability, localization and activity, often by exploiting endogenous cellular pathways. In parallel, novel biologic modalities, including engineered antibodies, multi-specific binders, peptide scaffolds, nucleotide and RNA therapeutics, offer complementary strategies to engage complex or transient target surfaces with high affinity and specificity. Collectively, these approaches are reshaping early‑stage drug discovery by providing versatile platforms to modulate challenging targets through m…
