title: Americas Antibody Congress: September 21-23, 2009, Washington, D.C.
abstract: The Americas Antibody Congress, organized by Terrapinn, was held in Washington, D.C. on September 21-23, 2009. The conference sessions were expertly moderated by Herren Wu (MedImmune), and featured 26 speakers who discussed a wide variety of topics relevant to antibody research and development. In addition to the presentations, the conference included four panel sessions during which unscripted dialog between panelist and the audience was encouraged. The topics of the panel sessions were: (1) identifying antibody targets; (2) strategies to assess immunogenicity; (3) antibody drug conjugates; (4) next generation protein types.
