Welcome
The first international symposium on downstream
processing of genetically engineered antibodies and related molecules,
GAb 2000,
was held in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2000. About 140 scientists
from around the world attended this event, which had a very high
standard of presentations and a strict focus on the downstream
processing of these molecules.
Encouraged by the response of participants, a second successful
symposium, GAb 2002 was organized at Le Meridien hotel, Park Atlantic in
Porto, Portugal.
GAb 2002 covered:
|
• |
Humanized antibodies, antibody fragments, Fc and Fab fusion
products, and GAb conjugates |
|
• |
Technical approaches to GAb purification |
|
• |
Modification of molecular structure and functionality
of Gabs |
|
• |
Regulatory and quality issues |
|
• |
Structure and function of affinity ligands for GAbs |
I enjoyed seeing you in Porto. It was another exciting, productive
and enjoyable Symposium.
