'From antibodies to bicycles', London, UK
14 May 2013 - 14 May 2013
United Kingdom
An event entitled 'From antibodies to bicycles' will be held on 21 March 2013 in London, UK.
In recent years a revolution has occurred in the pharmaceutical industry, with therapeutic antibodies displacing small molecule drugs as blockbuster pharmaceuticals. Our immune system produces a wide variety of antibodies for fighting infections, but it wasn't until the 1970s that researchers were able to manufacture specific antibodies themselves.
It then took another decade for this knowledge to reach its full potential as a drug treatment, when Professor Winter developed a technique to ensure that the manufactured antibodies were not deactivated by the body's immune response.
The conference will bring together various researchers in this field to discuss and exchange on some of the latest research trends in this domain.For further information, please visit:
