Institute for International Research

Now entering its ninth year, IBC's Formulation Strategies for Protein Therapeutics presents a unique combination of cutting edge science, best practices and responses to regulatory challenges. The topics presented in this meeting are determined through the input of formulation scientists like you who are also working to overcome the challenges of advanced protein therapeutics and next-generation delivery methods - offering you strategies you can apply right away to your day to day work.

Keynote Presentation

Overcoming the Physical Barriers for Delivery of Large Molecules
Henryk Mach, Senior Investigator, Merck Research Laboratories

2009 Program Highlights:

• Hear 5 leading biopharmaceutical companies detail strategies for analyzing and controlling subvisible particle formation in biotherapeutics
• Learn the best practices from throughout the industry on day to day formulation challenges of aggregation, stability, protein freeze/thaw, excipient selection and production stresses at scale
• Advance your next generation protein therapeutics by learning how to formulate high concentration proteins and use prefilled syringes as a delivery vehicle
• Explore the progress made in resolving the barriers to the development of novel, patient friendly delivery methods for therapeutic proteins
• Enable your formulation scientists to respond to common aggregation and stability problems though improved understandings of basic protein science
• Accelerate your formulation development through the use of novel formulation screening methods that use very small amounts of material

And, because Formulation Strategies is co-located with the BioProcess International™ Conference and Exhibition, you will have the opportunity to visit with more than 150 suppliers of bioprocess technology and services and network with over 1,500 industry leaders in attendance. The Raleigh Convention Center location ensures you plenty of nearby nighttime entertainment options in the exciting Fayetteville Street district, attractively priced accommodation options and ease of transportation via the Raleigh Durham airport (just 10 miles from the city center).
