  • Designing assays that lend themselves to continued efficacy after transfer with Crucell
  • conference focus

    marcus evans 2nd Annual Immunogenicity

    As an increasing number of biotherapeutics reach later phases of development, industry is focusing on the clinical relevance of immunogenicity for patients and regulators. At the same time, more data becomes available to test and refine our predictive strategies and ensure the success of future therapeutics.

    This marcus evans conference offers an intimate environment for benchmarking and networking with thought-leading researchers in immunogenicity, as they present in-depth industry case studies and new academic findings.
