Aptamers, initially discovered as short synthetic single-stranded nucleic acid sequences, can bind to a diverse range of targets. This made them an alternative to traditional antibodies for a range of applications. Optimers® are customized next-generation aptamers that demonstrate significant potential as targeted therapeutics and diagnostic reagents. They possess affinity, specificity, and stability that can be developed toward a broad range of novel and validated biomarkers. 

In this webinar brought to you by Aptamer Group, David Bunka will discuss how Optimers can be used for developing cancer treatments and diagnostics.

Topics to be covered 

  • Targeted delivery vehicles for chemotherapy and gene therapies
  • Biosensor development for chemotherapeutic treatment optimization
  • Diagnostic assays for cancer detection and staging

Optimers Bring Precision to Cancer Research and Therapeutics

Image of a woman with her hands across her stomach. She has a look of discomfort on her face. There is a blown up image of her stomach next to her and it has colorful butterflies and gut bacteria all swarming within the gut.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
