Particularly efficient for promoting discussion of partnerships, Cambridge Healthtech Insititute’s Biologics Partnering Forum on Emerging Antibody and Protein Engineering is designed for both the emerging companies with promising technology platforms and innovative approaches, as well as more established companies looking to collaborate as a way to gain access to novel technology and competitive products. Because of the focused nature and review process for selecting presenting companies, essentially every attendee will have significant shared interests with every other participant.

Reasons to Attend:

  • Opportunities for scheduled one-on-one meetings and unscheduled networking with three dozen company presenters and other participants
  • Approximately two-thirds of the presenting companies are focused on antibody engineering and one-third are focused on protein engineering
  • Company presenters were selected on the basis of a review of submitted proposals by the organizer and a strong panel of industry Program Advisors
  • Coverage of In vitro Antibody Development platforms, In vivo Transgenic Antibody Platforms, Bi-Specific and Multi-Specific Antibodies, Human-Derived Antibodies, Antibody Tools, Novel Antibodies in Development, Fusion Proteins, Novel Protein Scaffolds, and Screening and Design Platforms for Protein Engineering
