Introducing the 6th Annual ADC Summit 2018
SMi Group are proud to present the 6th Annual Antibodies & Antibody Drug Conjugates conference, taking place on the 9th – 10th April, 2018 at the Copthorne Tara Hotel London, UK. www.adcsummit.com/pjpr
Antibodies and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) have the potential to make a ground-breaking impact upon medicinal therapies, diagnostics and characterization of diseases. There is massive potential for ADCs to be used in the development of targeted solid tumour therapies, due to their ability to act as precisely and effectively on target antigens.
This April 2018’s ADC Summit conference brings together industry experts from leading life science and pharmaceutical companies. Key topics that will be covered in the upcoming event include: fragment drug conjugates, ADC payloads, site-selective ADCs/ site-specific conjugation and the best linker and warhead combinations.
Network and learn from leading professionals such as:
Chairs for 2018:
– MahendraDeonarain, Chief Executive and Scientific Officer, Antikor Biopharma
– Rakesh Dixit, Vice President and Global Head Biologics Safety Assessment, Medimmune
