10th antibody industrial symposium: new developments in antibody and adoptive cell therapies

The annual "Antibody Industrial Symposium", co-organized by LabEx MAbImprove and MabDesign, held its 10th anniversary edition in Montpellier, France, on June 28-29, 2022. The meeting focused on new results and concepts in antibody engineering (naked, mono- or multi-specific, conjugated to drugs or radioelements) and also on new cell-based therapies, such as chimeric antigenic receptor (CAR)-T cells. The symposium, which brought together scientists from academia and industry, also addressed issues concerning the production of these molecules and cells, and the necessary steps to ensure a strong intellectual property protection of these new molecules and approaches. These two days of exchanges allowed a rich discussion among the various actors in the field of therapeutic antibodies.
