Antibodies in solution: A LINXS-NIST Webinar Series
This Webinar Series is meant as an educational venture addressed to a broad audience including students and researchers from various backgrounds and all those who are interested to dive into the fascinating world of antibody research and learn more about the use of scattering methods for this purpose.
The Antibodies in Solution: a LINXS – NIST Webinar Series provides background information related to the currently ongoing LINXS antibody research program. This is a concerted experimental and theoretical effort that aims to investigate the properties of monoclonal antibodies in solution, which comprise a major platform for potential drug candidates and are of high academic and pharmaceutical interest. An international consortium of researchers at academic institutions, research centers, NIST and Novartis has teamed up for this.
Didactical lectures given by members of the consortium on different experimental and theoretical topics that are highly relevant for state-of-the-art antibody research as well as insight from pharmaceutical industry will be broadcasted. A central aspect of the webinar series will be to illustrate the full power of neutron and X-ray scattering science that can be achieved in combination with complementary experimental methods and different unifying simulation techniques.
TIMELINE
Events will be created continuously from autumn 2022. Each webinar will run from 35 to 40 minutes followed by questions from the participants. We hope to record all the webinars so that they can be available on the LINXS website, under Educational material.
INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION
Please go to LINXS events to find each webinar with more information about both the facility and the speaker. Here you will also find a link to the Zoom registration page.
