Overview

This year, PDA celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Workshop on Monoclonal Antibodies, taking place in Berlin, Germany, 26 – 27 September, highlighting the achievements of this successful format over the past ten years. The Workshop will be part of the PDA Exchange meeting format. This meeting format combines two meetings in the same place, allowing the audience to swap between the two meetings and attend different sessions with just one meeting ticket. This format gives you the chance to “Meet, Exchange and Connect” with colleagues, peers and professionals from different backgrounds around the globe - see Particles in Injectables Conference in the previous page.

The 10th PDA Europe Monoclonal Antibodies Workshop will once again feature presentations about the latest developments, brought to you by international industry and regulatory experts, including a broad update on regulatory considerations. Aside from presentations, there will be various case studies and panel discussions regarding upstream and downstream process development, control strategy design, antibody related products and technological innovations. Traditionally, PDA Europe's Monoclonal Antibodies Workshop is an event which allows its attendees to interact intensely with colleagues, regulators, industry leaders and experts. So come to Berlin and use this chance to get involved!
