Informa Life Sciences are delighted to bring to you our 2nd annual Conference on the Production of Non-Antibody Proteins. 2012 sees an expanded agenda with 2 new streams focusing on upstream, downstream, analytical developments of non-antibody proteins.
Where do non-antibodies fit in an antibody world? Discover new technologies being developed and and what platforms are being exploited for the recovery and purification of these unique proteins.
Importantly, this event will also provide a platform to look specifically at what it means to develop products using microbial expression systems and the associated downstream, recovery, formulation and QbD issues encountered.
With top level speakers from both large and small Biotech companies, you will gain a complete insight into how experts are tackling these issues head-on.
Hear from the leaders in the non-antibody community
