Antibody-Drug Conjugates: Engineering for Safety & Success
This course provides a detailed look into the discovery, characterization, and manufacturing of Antibody-Drug Conjugates, with a particular focus on safety issues. Featured is an in-depth and extensive case study from Genentech about their use of antibody-drug conjugates in a robust bio-oncology program, including a focus on risk mitigation and risk minimization strategies. This talk is followed by a presentation about Sutro Biopharma's Open Cell Free Synthesis (OCFS) technology for screening, selecting and formulating ADCs. Finally, an excellent overview of the infrastructure required to produce these molecules is presented by Lonza. All three presentations are filled with first-hand insights and practical approaches to successfully developing these potent biologics.

How to Obtain Reliable Information from DLS and Multi-Detector SEC Systems for Biophysical Characterization
Since its market introduction circa 30 years back, dynamic light scattering (DLS) has occupied a position of increasing popularity within the area of protein aggregate detection and characterization, due in large part to the non-invasiveness of the technique, the minimal sample volume & concentration requirements, and the quickness of data collection.
