From Biology to Biologics: Exploring Protein-Based Therapeutic Production & Purification

How can we apply our understanding of the “central dogma” of molecular biology to developing a commercially available drug like Humira or Keytruda?

Learn about the techniques used to produce and purify biologics (therapeutic proteins made from living organisms) involved in treating and preventing cancer, arthritis, pneumonia, and diabetes.

Engage students with a deeper dive into medical conditions that they may have a personal connection to or medications they’ve likely seen advertised, and ignite their interest in R&D and biomanufacturing careers.

The first 30 registrants based in the USA will receive one protein purification student workstation so they can perform the lab during the workshop. No equipment is needed - just easily accessible household items! If you are among the first 30 to sign up, you'll receive a form about a week before the event to input your shipping information.
