Therapeutic antibodies continue to dominate the list of top biologic drugs, revolutionizing the treatment of diseases from cancer to chronic inflammatory diseases, allergy and infections. However, along with their recent expansion, the emergence of resistance and escape mechanisms is becoming increasingly problematic.
This Keystone Symposia conference will bring together academic and industry players to address not only the latest methodological and technological advances in antibody therapeutics, but also paradigm-shifting concepts to tackle resistance challenges. The program will cover recent breakthroughs particularly in bispecific antibody engineering, highlighting technologies to improve functionalities, extend half-life and boost clinical efficacies, particularly in immune-oncology.
Program Highlights:
Repertoires, Learning and in Silico Design
Therapeutic Antibodies from Patients
Antibodies from Within: Vaccination and Delivery Technologies
