    Biocytogen eagerly invites fellow industrial partners and colleagues to join us for a Biotech and Breakfast session at the MassBio Hub.

    About this event

    Therapeutic antibodies represent an increasing share of new drug approvals and a current global market well in excess of $100B. Their research and development, however, is fraught with significant risks and many promising candidates fail to reach the clinic due to inefficient workflows and insufficient preclinical evaluation.

    Biocytogens state-of-the-art screening technologies and humanized antibody mouse platforms de-risk the entire enterprise of antibody drug discovery and development. Join us to learn how to generate higher quality hits, and perform high-throughput screening of top candidates.

    Among the topics we will discuss are:

    • The advantages of high-throughput single B cell screening technologies (the Beacon® Optofluidics System and FACS) for antibody discovery.
    • Therapeutic discovery using our fully human antibody mice to generate antibodies with high affinity and broad diversity.

    Event Agenda:

    8:30 - Coffee Reception

    9:00 - Presentation

    9:30 - Q&A Session
