Best Practices and Solutions for Characterization of Novel Biologics

The popular PEGS Analytical Stream focuses on the application of characterization tools to help gain a detailed knowledge of proteins from discovery through all the stages of development and production.  For 2023, this three-meeting stream offers comprehensive individual programs focused on novel therapeutic modalities, biophysical methods and the implementation and impacts of digital tools and big data in this function.  The more than fifty conference speakers in this stream will be augmented by focused short courses and hosted roundtable discussions on themes related to this field. 

Conferences Include:

May 15-16

Digital Integration in Biotherapeutic Analytics

May 16-17

Biophysical Methods

May 18-19

Characterization for Novel Biotherapeutics
