Production of mAbs in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells is a common practice in pharmaceutical companies. This miniBIOMAN hands-on workshop will cover the downstream processing stage of the mAb manufacturing process. Participants will follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and production batch records to perform each stage of the process, including tangential flow filtration, Protein A affinity chromatography, and ELISA assays.

At the conclusion of the mini-BIOMAN, participants will have a comprehensive, ready-to-insert curriculum module to utilize in their own classrooms. Curricular materials include PowerPoint slides and links to helpful resources and references, as well as hands on activities. Breakfast and lunch are provided each day of the conference, and transportation to off-site venues is included. Participation in all three days of the workshop is required.

* A limited number of $500 travel stipends are available for out-of-town participants.

** Individuals who have not previously received travel stipends for NBC2 events, and those incorporating materials & content into their programs will be given preference.

*** Registration will remain open until all participant positions are filled.
