Workshop on Therapeutic Antibodies

Aimed specifically at medical translators, this workshop will explore the complex area of therapeutic antibodies.

Our speaker is Dr David Matthews, an immunologist and head of BioTherapeutics at LifeArc. The BioTherapeutics team develops therapeutic antibodies – work that includes antibody generation, humanisation, affinity maturation and biophysical characterisation of candidates. LifeArc, a UK-registered self-funding charity, plays a key role in developing new treatments, medicines, diagnostics, technologies or information resources, and in helping to turn research into practical products that benefit patients.
