Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 11th Annual
Characterization for Novel Biotherapeutics
Exploring the Analytical Challenges of Emerging Modalities
January 15-16, 2025
Cambridge Healthtech Institute's 11th Annual Characterization for Novel Biotherapeutics track will focus on molecular characterization across the spectrum of biologic drug modalities with a special emphasis on the unique challenges and opportunities associated with each format. Attendees will be exposed to tailored approaches taken towards analytical characterizion of monoclonal antibodies, bispecific and multispecific antibodies, antibody-drug/protein conjugates or fusions, soluble T cell receptors, cell therapies, gene therapies, and others. The program will cover a wide range of characterization techniques, including mass spectrometry, chromatography, spectroscopy, and biophysical methods, comparing and contrasting the applicability and limitations of various approaches across drug classes. This conference will offer attendees the opportunity to cross-synthesize insights from separate biotherapeutic categories and consider incorporating novel or alternative approaches in their existing programs.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
- Analysis of biotransformation and drug-antibody ratios in ADC development
- Analytical methods for characterizing gene therapies and gene therapy delivery platforms
- Characterizing complex formation in multi-subunit biologics and bi-/multispecific antigen/antibody binding
- Identifying and modulating optimal phenotype and quality attributes in cell therapy product development
- Innovations in legacy analytical methods for application to emerging modalities
- Novel analytical methods and potential applications across the biotherapeutic space
The deadline for priority consideration is June 28, 2024.
All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
