Antibody Therapeutics Conference 2017: Oncology, Immunology, and Infectious Diseases

 

Greetings! Taiwan Antibody Association “Antibody Therapeutics Conference 2017: Oncology, Immunology, and Infectious Diseases” will be held on November 3rd, 2017 at Academia Sinica in Taiwan. The first annual ATC forum was held in 2013. Since then, during these years, application of antibody therapeutics has been successful and has progressed vigorously across the world. In TAA, we aim to effectively coordinate among the industrial, governmental, academic, and research institutions to develop advanced emerging technologies for effective discovery, production and translation in antibody therapeutics.

This year, the meeting covers a broad spectrum of topics on the new advances, including treatment of cancers, immune-mediated and infectious diseases. This meeting aims to provide scientists an opportunity to face-to-face discuss the comprehensive scientific knowledge and experiences on how to develop a therapeutic antibody from discovery, development to commercialization.

We sincerely thank each of your for attending and supporting our meeting and bringing your expertise to our gathering. We wish you a pleasant experience in Taiwan and the ATC 2017.

 

Friday November 3rd, 2017
Venue: 2F the First Conference Room, the Center of Academic Activities, Academia Sinica
