4th Annual Cell Based Assays 4th Annual Cell Based Assays

October 06 - 08, 2008 | InterContinental San Francisco, San Francisco, CA

Event Overview

Event Overview

Biopharmaceutical labs have many obstacles to overcome in developing, validating, maintaining, and transferring complex cell based assays in a quality control environment.  Whether you are new to developing and characterizing bioassays or you have several years of experience, you will benefit from discussing your current challenges with industry colleagues. The Cell Based Assays conference has become the meeting place for these scientists to discuss fresh information on how they are approaching solutions to these difficult assays.

Regulatory considerations, drug characterization, potency assays, setting acceptance criteria, neutralization antibodies assays, technological advancements, and statistical analysis are only some of the discussion topics. The format for learning is a combination of case studies and interactive panel discussions to address your most pressing assay challenges.

New for 2008

Assay Development
  • How to improve the monitoring bioassays
  • Measure anti-drug antibodies in the presence of drug
  • Use of primary cell line in a lot release bioassay
  • Applications for cell line toxicology

Assay Validation
  • Latest information on validation guidelines
  • Validation of host cell impurity
  • Differentiate qualification vs. validation requirements
  • Use of DOE in validation robustness of potency assays

Potency Assessment
  • More information on developing potency assays
  • Challenges in selection a potency assay for lot release
