WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC’s 15th annual international conference on Antibody Engineering to be held November 30 - December 3, 2004 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina in CA will feature two industry leaders to address its keynotes. Pamela J. Bjorkman, Ph.D., Max Delbruck Professor of Biology and Full Investigator of Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Executive Officer for Biology in the Department of Biology of the California Institute of Technology will address “Fc Receptors -- From Molecules to Cells.” The same day, Ronald Levy, M.D., Professor and Chief in the Division of Oncology for Stanford School of Medicine will address “Antibodies are Drugs -- Now We Need to Understand Them and Improve Them.”
Celebrating its 15th year of being the industries benchmark for the antibody engineering field, the Antibody Engineering event is the largest of its kind, bringing in over 50 of the world’s leading experts to present new information. Among some of the data to be presented for the first time are:
* Analysis, Structure & Design of Novel Engineered Antibodies and their Target Complexes * Structure & Biology of Antibody Fragments and Antibody Mimetics * Antibodies to Infectious Agents * A Systems Biology and Medicine Approach to Antibody Targeting * Engineered Antibody Libraries & Target Discovery * Advances in Targeted Delivery to Epitope Space: From Models to Clinical Reality * Pre-Clinical and Clinical Development of Recombinant Antibodies * Intrinsic Antibody Properties
In addition there will be over 600 attendees, 30 exhibits, and 50 posters. “Every year the creme-de-la-creme of the antibody engineering field from academia and industry meet in San Diego to present news and discuss the forefront of the science,” noted Sabine Jung, Ph.D., of Bayer AG in Germany.
Being held in conjunction with IBC’s 2nd Annual Antibody Therapeutics covering the key aspects of the development of antibodies as therapeutic products will offer extensive networking opportunities. Attendees will have access to this event and also be able to take advantage of Attendee Connect, a software program that allows attendees to schedule meetings pre-event with fellow peers to maximize their time at the event.
