Track 8: Mass Spectrometry in Proteome Research

Proteomics is an developing field that has been highly enabled by the human genome project. Proteins are the products of genes, the machinery of the cells in our bodies. Protein mass spectrometry refers to the utilization of mass spectrometry to the study of proteins. Mass spectrometry is an important emerging method for the characterization of proteins. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis can be used to generate cellular protein maps which give a quantitative and qualitative picture of the proteome. Mass spectrometry is the method of choice for the rapid large-scale identification of these proteomes and their alterations. Proteogenomics uses mass spectrometry data to experimentally validate gene products and to assist in the process of genome annotation & comparison.

Track 9: Molecular Modelling and Drug Designing

Molecular modelling is a technique for originating, representing and manipulating the structures and reactions of molecules, and those properties that are dependent on these three dimensional structure, Drug design, frequently referred to as rational drug design or simply rational design, is the inventive process of finding new medications based on the knowledge of a biological target.

Track 10: Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering, also called genetic adjustment, is the immediate control of a living being's genome utilizing biotechnology. It is an arrangement of innovations used to change the genetic makeup of cells, comprising the exchange of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. Genetic adjustment, Genome investigation, Genetic designing strategies, Molecular docking & computational transformative science are the diverse points secured under Genetic Engineering.

There are almost 4000+ people from 75 universities in USA working for Enzyme Engineering.

Track 13: Antibody Engineering

Antibody engineering is a great tool for improving antibody functions and immunogenicity improvement. Engineered therapeutic antibodies are better for affinity maturation, specifically by improving on-rate of the antibody binding affinities. The need to overcome the immunogenicity problem of rodent antibodies in clinical practice has resulted in a plethora of strategies to isolate human antibodies. If human antibodies are to be used, then one would like to understand the basis by which different isotypes interact with host effector systems, and if possible, improve on nature by engineering in desirable modifications.

Track 14: Antibodies: Medical Applications

Antibodies are used extensively as diagnostic tools in many different formats. The term applied for antibody based diagnostic tests is “immunoassay”. Antibody-based immunoassays are the most commonly used confirmatory diagnostic assays and is the fastest growing technologies for the analysis of biomolecules. Trends in antibody based diagnosis show advances in assay specificity, detection technologies and sensitivity. Sensitivity and specificity is ensured depending on whether or not the antigen to be quantified competes with labeled antigen for a limited number of antibody binding sites. Monoclonal antibodies are now widely used in all areas of biological and medical research as well as in clinical diagnostic tests and in therapy. This review concentrates on the clinical use of antibodies in therapy particularly with regard to the properties of the antibodies which seem most relevant to their usefulness. In-vitro tests using human effector systems and in-vivo animal models have demonstrated the importance of the antibody isotype and valency for antigen as well as the specificity of binding.

Track 15: Antibody Drug Therapy

Conventional anticancer therapeutics often suffers from lack of specificity, resulting in toxicities to normal healthy tissues and poor therapeutic index. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) constitute a therapeutic modality in which a cytotoxic agent is chemically linked to an antibody (Ab) that recognizes a tumor-associated antigen. The basic strategy underlying ADC technology is to combine the target selectivity of mAbs with the potency of cytotoxic agents, such as certain natural products and synthetic molecules, with the goal of generating therapeutic drugs that are highly efficacious but also safe. The ADC platform currently includes a growing repertoire of cytotoxic payloads, linker technologies and conjugation methods. Two ADCs have recently received FDA approval and more than 30 are in clinical development. This meeting aims to highlight advances in ADC research, clinical development and regulatory perspectives.

Track 16:  Pharmacogenomics & Pharmacoproteomics
