Global Protein Summit



associated eventsTechnological advances in protein production and structure determination

overview


With the ever-expanding therapeutic market, research and development is fundamental for improving current treatments and the design of protein based drugs of the future. With the variety of protein expression systems rapidly evolving, there is more pressure to harvest larger, purer quantities of product. Furthermore, a vast number of biomarker discovery studies have recently been embarked upon, requiring new, more efficient methods to identify and analyse proteins involved in disease populations with the aim to discover novel diagnostic tools and treatments.

SMi’s 4th annual Global Protein Summit is designed to meet the needs of the industry. It is an excellent opportunity to hear about the latest developments from leaders in the field, bringing together experts in protein expression, purification, identification and functional analysis. 

This event will bring together Vice Presidents, Directors, Heads and leading researchers from the pharmaceutical industry to share their knowledge and discuss the critical issues surrounding the development of innovative protein drug compounds. It’s a must attend event for all those involved in protein research and development.



Critical challenges that will be addressed:
  • GENE TO PROTEIN: Analyse the challenges with protein engineering and expression
  • PROTEOMICS: Gain an insight into the role of biomarkers and the recent advances in this area
  • PROTEIN PRODUCTION: Understand multi-parallel and high throughput systems
  • EXPRESSION TECHNOLOGIES: Learn about novel technologies that are being developed for a variety of compounds
  • PURIFICATION & ANALYSIS: Discuss how to effectively analyse, characterise and purify protein material



Exclusive presentations from industry experts including:

  • Paul Ramage, Senior Research Investigator 1, CPC/Protease Platform, Novartis Pharma AG
  • Mark McAlister, Associate Director, Protein Engineering, Global Structural Chemistry, AstraZeneca
  • Florian Wurm, Professor of Biotechnology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne
