Live Presentation

In Vitro Assays for T Cell Engagers: From High-Throughput Screening to Lead Optimization

Session Time: 4:30 PM (local time), Wednesday, June 24, 2026

Abstract: Standard bioassays often fall short when evaluating T cell engagers due to their diverse mechanisms of actions (MOAs) and functional complexity. This presentation introduces fit-for-purpose in vitro assay strategies for TCEs, covering rapid HTP screening workflows for evaluating TCE formats and identifying optimal pairings, fit-for-purpose assay panels to assess T cell activation, cytotoxicity, cytokine release, and potency, and advanced assay designs, such as serial tumor killing, to differentiate TCE leads and support confident translational decision-making.

Speaker: Lily Zhao, Ph.D., Director, CRO Services. Dr. Zhao is an accomplished biologics drug development leader with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and over 10 years of industry experience in antibody discovery, protein engineering, and translational research across immunology, oncology, and rare diseases. She has built her career across both biotech and large pharmaceutical companies, leading high-impact discovery programs and advancing innovative biologics from hit identification through IND-enabling studies and into early clinical development. Lily joined WuXi Biologics as Director, Scientific Advisor of Antibody Discovery, where she leverages her scientific and strategic expertise to support CRO Services and help customers advance their development programs with clarity and confidence.
