Cornell University and The General Hospital Corp. (Massachusetts General Hospital) have synthesized conjugates comprising a targeting moiety covalently linked to a radiolabeled metal chelator through a linker acting as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) imaging agents reported to be useful for diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
SK Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has signed a license agreement with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) to acquire rights to WARF’s WT-7695, a preclinical-stage radiopharmaceutical therapy candidate developed in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
South Korean researchers led by Lee In-suk of Yonsei University have reported the most complete oral microbiome catalog to date, with more than 72,000 genomes. Detailed in Cell Host & Microbe on Nov. 12, 2025, the database is expected to serve as a universal platform for academia and enable “precision microbiome medicine” for the industry, Lee told BioWorld.

A team of scientists from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institutet has reported the development and characterization of a new class of small non-immunoglobulin affibody proteins that bind to the highly glycosylated human carcinoembryonic antigen-related adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5, CEA) with high affinity.
Simon Fraser University, TRIUMF and the University of British Columbia have disclosed radiolabeled compounds reported to be useful for the diagnosis of cancer.
A team of U.S. and South Korean researchers have developed an AI model called MSI-SEER that can not only predict microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors based on tissue slides, but also flag “what it does not know.” “Have you ever asked ChatGPT anything, and the response was, ‘I don’t know?’” Cheong Jae-ho asked during an interview with BioWorld. “Probably not, and that is the problem with AI now.”
Nanjing Nuoyuan Medical Devices Co. Ltd. has discovered drug conjugates comprising a fluorescent moiety targeting hepatocyte growth factor receptors (HGFR; MET) covalently linked to crizotinib through a linker. They are reported to be useful for diagnosis of liver and colon cancer.
