Formulation & Delivery Strategies You Need for Next-Generation Biologics and Protein Therapeutics

This year, the formulation and delivery track at BioProcess International will focus on how to apply innovative technologies and phase-appropriate strategies for formulation development and delivery of mAbs, next-generation biologics, non-mAb protein therapeutics, vaccines and other modalities.

The formulation & delivery track at BPI will teach you how to apply innovative technologies and phase-appropriate strategies for formulation development and delivery. Find new ideas for your mAbs, but even more importantly, learn about formulation development for next-generation biologics, non-mAb protein therapeutics, vaccines and other complex molecules. Discover pre-formulation strategies and techniques for assessing liabilities of molecules to ensure you are progressing candidates with a good chances of success. Hear the latest in high-throughput methods for formulation development. Learn about the connection between formulations and protein/peptide stability and physiochemical characteristics of your molecules.

This track has been designed to showcase new data and multiple case studies from a variety of different molecules to give you new ideas for your own projects. There are also several shared sessions with the analytical track at BPI to help you cross-fertilize ideas regarding analytical strategies for formulation development with attendees of that track.
