CHI launches “PEGS-The Essential Protein Engineering Summit” in Korea

NEEDHAM, Mass. - May 18, 2015 - PRLog -- This fall, Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI) will launch "PEGS - The Essential Protein Engineering Summit" in Seoul, Korea. Global leaders in protein and antibody engineering will gather to share case studies, insight, and best practices in developing next-generation therapeutics including ADCs, bispecifics, and immunomodulatory antibodies. This gathering encourages candid discussions about advances, challenges and tools needed to enhance novel biotherapeutics research.

PEGS is CHI’s flagship biologics meeting, and is widely considered the industry’s leading event on protein and antibody engineering. Its successful accolades include an annual attendance of over 1800 participants at the PEGS Summit in Boston, a record attendance of over 500 attendees at PEGS Europe last year, a successful launch of PEGS China in 2014, and now, driven by the growth in the biologics industry in Korea, CHI announces PEGS Korea.

Taking place September 1-3 the program will kick-off with two keynote speakers, Andrew Bradbury, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., Biosciences Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Gregory P. Adams, Ph.D., Director of Biological Research and Therapeutics at Fox Chase Cancer Center, followed by presentations from some of the most influential leaders in biologics.

This 3-day event is comprised of two conference programs “Protein & Antibody Engineering” (September 1-2), and “Next-Generation Antibody Therapeutics” (September 2-3). Registration packages allow participants to attend both conferences, or choose just one. For complete details and to learn more, visit the website http://www.PEGSummitKorea.com
