AACR 2026 in San Diego was a great event — packed sessions, sharp science, and insightful conversations about where the ADC field is heading. And one thing is clear: differentiation matters more than ever. We are moving beyond crowded payload classes, toward distinct mechanisms, better selectivity, and smarter approaches to resistance. That is exactly the space Byondis is building in, with our cytotoxic antifolate and ByonBoost™ immune-stimulatory linker-drug platforms, and our ByonGuard™ masking technology for conditional activation. If AACR sparked a conversation you'd like to continue — on our platforms, our pipeline, or partnering — we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch at BD@Byondis.com. #AACR2026 #ADC #AntibodyDrugConjugates #Oncology #Biotech #Partnering
