The 4th International Antibody Validation Meeting is returning next year, so mark 13-15th September 2023 in your diaries!
This unique meeting, organised by the University of Bath and supported by CiteAb, brings together advocates, experts and enthusiasts in antibody validation, from academic, pharmaceutical/biotechnology research, and supplier fields.
It will provide a forum for discussions into validation methods, standards and the state of the field, aiming to bring about improvements to antibody validation. Ultimately, good validation can help antibodies to reliably drive progress in biomedical research.
The Fourth International Antibody Validation meeting
This year, we will be reflecting on the progress we have made since 2018 (when the Third International Antibody Validation meeting ran). This COVID-induced delay between meetings has given us the opportunity to look back on developments, further challenges and think about what we can expect in the coming years.
We are thrilled to be extending the length of the meeting. It will now be running for two and a half days between the 13-15th of September 2023. We have also moved to a new space within the University of Bath!
This means there will be more opportunity to discuss all things antibody validation with delegates from the academic, pharmaceutical and antibody supplier fields, as well as attend even more thought-provoking talks.
We will be introducing a new drinks networking event on the first night, providing another opportunity to meet with people in the field, and catch up with your connections.
The ever-popular meeting dinner will be returning, with the opportunity to socialise with fellow delegates in the beautiful city of Bath.
This year will feature a fantastic array of speakers. Previous meeting content has covered advances made in antibody validation, toolboxes available to the community, validations on different types of antibodies and for specific applications, and supplier validation initiatives. More content to be included in the coming meeting will be announced soon!
As in past years, each day we will also hold a discussion forum to enable questions from the audience to be addressed. This is a great opportunity for everyone to get involved and have their say on current challenges and solutions in the field. You can also expect a range of academic posters, with dedicated sessions to browse and discuss the content.
Dr Andrew Chalmers, CEO of CiteAb and scientific organiser for the Antibody Validation Meeting, commented:
‘We are thrilled to be able to bring the antibody validation meeting back for 2023. Antibody validation is an essential part of accelerating scientific progress, and something we feel passionately about advocating for at CiteAb. What I love about the meeting is the positive attitude, openness and desire from everyone involved to improve antibody validation. I can’t wait to welcome everyone to Bath again!’
