Virtual Biopharmaceuticals Summit 2022: Full meeting agenda for November 22

The full exciting schedule has been announced for the SelectScience® Virtual Biopharmaceuticals Summit, taking place on November 22, in partnership with BioPhorum. Featuring presentations from AstraZeneca, Bayer, Eli Lilly, Janssen: Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, and Roche scientists among others, this free-to-attend online event offers an interactive forum for scientists and manufacturers to connect, showcase the latest research, and share cutting-edge technology solutions for biopharmaceuticals research and development.

You can look forward to topics including:

  • Novel approaches for therapeutic monoclonal antibody discovery
  • Streamlined methods for binding kinetics
  • The latest trends in cell and gene therapy
  • Mass spectrometry techniques for oligonucleotides and larger nucleic acids
  • The latest in adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) critical quality attribute (CQA) analysis
  • Pharmaceutical compliance, and much more

The Summit will host talks by world-leading scientists, live Q&As, video interviews, interactive resource booths, and unique networking opportunities. Attendees will also be able to view academic and industry posters submitted by our global scientific community, leave comments, ask questions, and prompt collaboration through 1-on-1 chat facilities.
