The 1st Symposium on Protein Tomography, May 1, 2008, Boston, MA
Research and development of bio-therapeutics are hampered by inconclusive evidence of how a drug operates
on a target. Present-day approaches fall short of proving the mechanism of action at the molecular level.  This problem is solved by Sidec research and Protein TomographyTM, which together provide exploratory insight for antibody development projects.  Sidec provides their partners with exclusive biological information by visualizing and interpreting real drug-target interaction events in situ and in vitro.  Sidec Research Collaborations enable our partners to:  Prioritize the most promising antibodies.  Locate the antibody-binding epitope.  Protect IP with evidence on the mechanism of action.  Expedite the drug approval process.  Promote therapeutic products to licensees.  To register for the Sidec Symposium please click here
