Meet Alfa Cytology at the Cancer R&D 2024, Nov 18-20, 2024. We look forward to connecting with you and providing expert solutions for your cancer drug development projects.
Learn MoreAlfa Cytology specializes in providing one-stop integrated development solutions for researchers engaged in TAM modulator development for cancer. We focus on targeting Tyro3, Axl, and Mer receptors, aiming to develop innovative therapies that can modulate the tumor microenvironment, inhibit tumor growth, and enhance the efficacy of existing cancer therapies.
Tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) receptors are a family of receptor tyrosine kinases involved in the regulation of cellular processes such as cell proliferation, survival, adhesion and migration. In cancer, TAM receptors are frequently dysregulated and they contribute to tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, and evasion of the immune system. TAM modulators are drugs designed to target these receptors, which inhibit tumor progression through a variety of mechanisms of action including inhibition of TAM receptor activation, immune modulation, anti-angiogenic effects, and induction of programmed cell death in cancer cells.

Currently, the research hotspots related to the development of effective TAM modulators for cancer therapy include the following.
With advanced technologies and interdisciplinary expertise, Alfa Cytology delves into the mechanism of action of TAM modulators and focuses on target specificity, overcoming immunosuppression, and exploring combination therapies, with the aim of helping clients develop novel TAM modulators and optimize their efficacy, providing tailor-made solutions for the development of innovative cancer therapies.
Alfa Cytology offers a full range of services for TAM modulator development and optimization, including but not limited to the following.
Using computational models and structure-based drug design techniques, we identify and optimize lead compounds with high affinity and specificity for TAM receptors.
Our in vitro assays use cell-based assays, kinase assays and receptor binding assays to assess the activity and selectivity of TAM modulators.
We select optimal animal models for preclinical studies to assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and antitumor efficacy of TAM modulators.
We provide comprehensive biomarker analysis services to monitor treatment response and identify predictive biomarkers of response to TAM modulators.
Our TAM modulator development services target several key molecules and pathways involved in cancer and are dedicated to assisting in the development of targeted therapies across multiple molecule types, including small molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, vaccines and others.
Targets | Development Types |
