Receptor Occupancy Testing in Clinical Trials

The Conversational Flow - An Official Podcast of KCAS

For episode #8 of “The Conversational Flow” podcast, Brian and Adam spend the time discussing Receptor Occupancy Testing in Clinical Trials. Receptor occupancy (RO) assays are important in clinical trials because they provide valuable information about a drug’s binding characteristics and mechanism of action. Our hosts begin by outlining the general need for accurate RO calculation (per time point, per subject, etc), then they move on to pre-analytical risks (collection, shipment, transit, receipt, etc) and more specifics like staining and preparation process, acquisition and data analysis, harmonization between multiple testing facilities, and interpreting RO data.
“The Conversational Flow” an official podcast of KCAS Bio, and focuses on the more niche topic of Flow Cytometry and its role within the greater pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and bioanalytical industries. Every month, KCAS Bio will bring you another 60 minutes (or so) of friendly banter between our two finest Flow Cytometry experts as they chat over coffee and discuss what they’ve learned about the world of Flow Cytometry the past couple of weeks. “The Conversational Flow” is brought to you by KCAS Bio.
