Antibody Drug Discovery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the production of antibodies against cancer-related molecules and antibody-based cancer therapy.

AboutAbout the lab
Making antibodies that target cancer and turning them into treatments
The Antibody Drug Discovery Lab studies how to produce antibodies against a variety of cancer-related molecules and apply them to antibody-based cancer therapy.
The lab's website describes the production of antibodies targeting molecules such as HER2, CD44, and podoplanin, as well as research toward treatments for breast cancer, brain tumors, and lung cancer.
Research on treatment using CAR-T cells is also described.
The lab's website also presents the lab under the name "Kato Lab."
Key terms
- Antibody
- A protein in the body that binds to a specific molecule. Antibodies are also used as drugs.
- CAR-T
- A treatment method in which a mechanism for recognizing cancer is added to a patient's own immune cells.
- HER2
- The name of a protein on the cell surface. It is also a target in breast cancer treatment.
ResearchResearch themes
The Antibody Drug Discovery Lab studies the production of antibodies against cancer-related molecules and cancer treatment using antibodies. The lab's website publishes summaries of research results organized by target molecule and by type of cancer.
