Uniting Innovators for Next-Generation ADC Success
A private network for ADC Discovery drug developers
Designed by ADC Discovery drug developers
A new era of innovation is rapidly advancing the development and deployment of a novel generation of ADCs that are becoming a primary treatment option for patients in need. However, there are still significant challenges and unresolved questions that need to be addressed.
To facilitate collaboration and knowledge-sharing among pharmaceutical pioneers, the Accelerated ADC Discovery Searchlight network was created. This safe and cooperative environment provides a platform for you to share critical insights, personal experiences, and best practices to overcome common discovery challenges and avoid expensive mistakes.
As a member, you will receive timely access to new ideas and knowledge to help refine your thoughts and bolster your concepts. You will be able to engage in meaningful discussions, evaluate ADC characterization platforms, and re-evaluate target identification and validation techniques. Membership offers an opportunity to access new thinking, technologies, and methodologies, which empowers members to make informed discovery decisions that enhance the probability of clinical success.
Joining the Accelerated ADC Discovery Searchlight network is a unique chance to collaborate with industry leaders, leverage their expertise, and drive innovation forward.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to become part of a transformative community!



Business critical conversations
Virtual cornerstone meetings
We facilitate, structured, discussion-driven, ADC-focused quarterly meetings for member companies.
Each high-impact 90-minute meeting takes place virtually via Zoom. The meeting agenda is carefully curated and focused on the topics and critical challenges requested by Searchlight members. Scientific Advisors regularly participate in meetings to support discussion and offer premium insight and expertise.
Member companies are represented by one internal champion with strategic oversight over its ADC program to ensure that each discussion is high-value, high-impact, and delivers tangible outputs for members to take back to their organization.
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation
