Lung cancer doesn’t wait, and it impacts hundreds of lives each day. Behind every diagnosis is a person with hopes, loved ones, and a future worth fighting for. On #WorldLungCancerDay, we honor those affected and reaffirm our commitment at Abdera to walk beside you through every step of your cancer journey. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed, are undergoing treatment, or navigating life after cancer, you are not alone.

Next week, Abdera Chief Technical Officer Kawa C. will take the stage at the 4th #TRPSummit2025, where she'll be chairing Day 1 and moderating two panel discussions on the role of real-world evidence in trial design and building the talent pipeline to support radiopharma innovation. Kawa brings a deep understanding of discovery and development in targeted radiotherapeutics, and we’re excited for her to share Abdera’s perspective on where the field is headed.

We’re proud to have Abdera VP of CMC Radiopharmaceutical Development Kevin R. speaking next week at the 4th #TRPSummit2025.

As we head into Father's Day weekend, we're celebrating the dads of #TeamAbdera and the fathers who helped shape them. Thank you for leading with strength, care, and heart. We're wishing all dads a well-deserved day of recognition and rest. Happy #FathersDay!

There are three components of targeted #radiotherapeutics: a cancer-targeting molecule, a chelating agent that binds a radioisotope, and a linker connecting them. The goal is for the targeting molecule to seek out and bind tumor cells, delivering the radioisotope to destroy them and limit tumor growth. Powered by a highly potent mechanism of cell killing, the ROVEr platform is uniquely designed to target both high- and low-expressing #cancer markers, ensuring precise and effective delivery of therapeutic radioisotopes.
