Monoclonal antibodies are quickly becoming key resources in the therapeutic, diagnostic and drug discovery fields. With the phenomenal growth in the market for monoclonal antibodies, it becomes even more critical to explore diverse methods of design, production and application of technologies to provide the antibodies needed.  This conference will provide researchers with key updates on important developments in the monoclonal antibody field covering generation, optimization, drug discovery research, and in vivo diagnostics, as well as case studies of successful mAb science.
