Designing Cytokine Mimetics to Understand and Shape Future Immune Therapies
Time: 8:30 am
day: Conference Day Two
Details:
- Join this workshop to gain a better understanding of cytokines, their role in disease, and potential for future therapies and apply this knowledge to design synthetic cytokines:
- Understanding the biology of cytokines, their role in disease, and how they can be leveraged for the development of cytokine-based therapeutics
- Exploring the structure and function of cytokines and how to apply this knowledge to design synthetic variants with optimized therapeutic properties
- Discussing strategies to design cytokine mimetics therapeutics with computational protein design
- Discovering approaches to engineer and tune cytokine mimetics to enhance activity, improve specificity (e.g., cell bias), and minimize toxicities
- Improving the biophysical properties of designed cytokines for better manufacturability and scalability 10.30 Morning Break & Speed Networking Expanding the Application of Cytokine-based Drugs Beyond Oncology to Immunology & Inflammation Indications
