About the Event:
Antibodies are a class of proteins that are key to immunological defense systems. One of the most popular drug candidates in recent years, there are approximately 30 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) currently used in human therapeutics, and their characterization has drawn increasing attention. Top-down protein analysis using mass spectrometry measures proteins in their intact form, as well as any "proteoforms."
Please join the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy on Friday, June 20, 2014 from 8:50 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for , a conference celebrating the inauguration of the School's Mass Spectrometry Center, a new center providing state-of-the-art mass spectrometry expertise, methodology, and instrumentation to the School of Pharmacy and surrounding research community. The conference will deliver clear outcomes that benefit the scientific community with up-to-date, state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based applications to interrogate antibodies, including therapeutic MAbs
