September 28th, 2026 | 10am-2pm ET | CIC Cambridge

What We'll Explore

• Designing Better Candidates: How discovery and engineering strategies can build stronger therapeutic antibodies from the start
• Generating the Right Data: Looking beyond traditional readouts to understand function, mechanism, and developability
• Making Better Development Decisions: Bringing the data together to confidently differentiate candidates and determine which molecules move forward

From Design To Decision

Join a small group of antibody developers and industry leaders for a discussion-focused symposium exploring how data across discovery, engineering, characterization, and development can inform one of the most important decisions in drug development: which molecule moves forward?
