Event Overview:

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become increasingly sophisticated over the past decades. This also holds true for the technologies enabling the identification, design, preclinical and manufacturing processes of monoclonal antibodies.
While the traditional hybridoma technology is still broadly used for the creation of mAbs, novel technologies such as immune antibody libraries or fully humanoid antibody libraries have emerged in recent years. Moreover, researchers can today leverage a range of powerful approaches to optimize the mAb creation process, e.g., high-throughput screening, state-of-the-art sequencing, AI/machine learning or analytics.
This webinar covers Evotec´s capabilities for supporting all activities across the R&D continuum,

  • Discovery and optimization of novel antibodies for specific disease targets
  • Evaluation of lead antibodies for disease efficacy and safety
  • Process development and manufacturing

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how Evotec can help you with less expensive, faster and more flexible ways of discovering, developing and manufacturing biotherapeutics.
  • Gain insight in the most up-to-date methods to optimize antibody development and manufacturing
  • Understand how AI to can help solve problems before they occur


Who Should Attend:

  • Business/Industry: Biotech, Pharma, Biopharmaceuticals
  • Seniority: VPs, Directors, Managers, Scientists
  • Function: Research, Business Development, Consulting
