PK/PD of Novel Constructs
October 10 - 12, 2012 - Bethesda, MD, USA

Understanding the activity of novel constructs in animal models and clinical studies is critical to their success. There are numerous constructs of bispecific and multiclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and antibody fragments heading to the clinic that are diverse in nature. This conference will delve into tools for understanding effects in humans and engineering for optimal efficacy, safety and metabolism, and strive to uncover the link between immunogenicity and pK/pD.

Keynote speakers are to include Louis M. Weiner , M.D., Director, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center; Professor and Chair, Department of Oncology, Georgetown University Medical Center; Joseph P. Balthasar, Ph.D., Professor, Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, SUNY Buffalo; and Vibha Jawa , Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Clinical Immunology, Amgen
