With the field of antibody drug conjugates rapidly expanding and the increasing number of ADC clinical trials, novel therapeutics are emerging. The ADC therapeutic area combines synthetic chemistry with rationale biology and is advancing monoclonal antibody treatments into the realm of precision medicine with improved effectiveness and therapeutic indices.

This event will bring together an exciting balance of industry and academia, so that delegates have the unique opportunity to network with colleagues from different sectors and gain a fresh perspective on the emergence of recent data from ADC clinical trials, new linkers and payloads, personalized healthcare, site specific attachment, and ADC therapeutics.

Sessions include:
I. Novel Payloads & Linkers in Antibody Drug Conjugates
II. Enhancing ADC Efficacy Through Combination Therapy with Immuno-oncology and Other Agents
III. Regulatory Trends & Challenges in Antibody Drug Conjugates
IV. Preclinical to Clinical Developments in ADC
V. Antibody Conjugate Therapeutics in Precision Medicine, Current Developments, and Future Potential

Don't miss important insights on how to overcome the many hurdles that are associated with the production of proteins.
