Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) enables high-resolution imaging while preserving their structure, but adapting this technology to industry needs remains challenging. It requires the rapid acquisition of large numbers of representative images and robust analysis of hundreds of nano-objects that may vary considerably in size, shape, and structure. This final step relies on advanced computational approaches, potentially including machine learning and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>The project aims to develop an end-to-end cryo-TEM analysis workflow specifically tailored to nanomedicine products, from optimized sample preparation to image acquisition and quantitative analysis, notably through advanced computational approaches. The service will enable faster generation of robust scientific data on nanoparticle size, shape, and structure to support product development and regulatory characterization.

Despite their significant potential in oncology, ADC development remains complex, time-consuming, and costly, particularly because many of the characteristics that determine their efficacy, safety, and manufacturability are still evaluated through trial-and-error approaches relatively late in the development process.<\/p>\n<p>The project aims to develop an integrated ADC design and development platform connecting computational modeling with analytical characterization, biological testing, and translational evaluation. By assessing critical attributes that influence ADC performance earlier in the development process, the platform will enable better selection and prioritization of promising candidates, reduce reliance on trial-and-error approaches, and accelerate their progression toward clinical development.
