Another remarkable biotech success story lies in the realm of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
Another remarkable biotech success story lies in the realm of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). These engineered proteins have become a cornerstone of modern medicine, offering targeted precision in treating various diseases. Herceptin (trastuzumab), developed by Genentech, exemplifies the potential of mAbs. Approved by the FDA in September 1998, Herceptin revolutionized the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer by selectively targeting cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Its success not only extended patients' lives but also paved the way for a new era of personalized medicine.
