Pre-Conference Workshops | August 21
separate registration required


(SC 1) THE INS & OUTS OF WORKING WITH CROS* • 2:00-5:00pm
Outsourcing has become an integral part of creating pharmaceutical and biological products.
Deciding which part of a project to outsource, and how to establish and maintain positive
CRO/CMO relationships may not be as self-evident.

This workshop has been designed to provide helpful and practical information about working
with contract research and contract manufacturing organizations, including a focus on how CROs 'handle' the science that lies at the heart of the work.

Topics to be discussed include:
• Choosing a CRO/CMO
• Sight Inspections
• IP Issues
• Project Management
• Communication
• Contracts
• Regulatory Issues
• Process Planning and Management (Including Process Changes)

This workshop will provide you with essential information that will help you avoid unnecessary complications that lead to lost time – and lost revenue.

Peter Silvera, Ph.D., Senior Project Leader, Vaccine Research Program, Department of InfectiousDisease Research, Southern Research Institute    

* separate registration required


(SC 2) ANTIBODY ENGINEERING* • 2:00-5:00pm
Using Antibodies and especially monoclonal antibodies as targeted therapeutics presents numerous challenges and opportunities to the pharmaceutical industry. In order to use Mab’s in the clinic, topics such as pharmacokinetic, pharmacotoxicity and stability need to be addressed. This short course will provide in depth interactive lectures with time given for discussing actual problems.

New Advances in Cancer Radioimmunotherapy
David Goldenberg, Ph.D., President, Lab Science, Garden State Cancer Center

  • Review of past experience with radiolabeled antibodies in cancer therapy
  • Two approved products for therapy of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Therapy of solid tumors locoregionally or in adjuvant setting
  • Prospects of pretargeted radimmunotherapy as new paradigm for improved radioimmunotherapy

(SC 3)  MANUFACTURING VACCINES COLLOQUIUM* • 10:00am-5:00pm
A one-day colloquium focused on the myriad concerns related to the manufacture of vaccines, including regulatory issues. Indepth presentations from vaccine manufacturers and experts in managing processes such as scaling up and cGMP compliant processing for the manufacture of viral vectors and vaccines.
