SUMMARY:BioBasics 201: Targeted Biologics for the Non-Scientist
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLSBC\, in partnership with Biotech Primer\, was pleased to present BioBasics 201: Targeted Biologics for the Non-Scientist\, an intensive\, two-day course focused on vaccines\, cell therapies\, gene therapies\, therapeutic antibodies\, and RNA-based drugs. Biopharma’s inspiration for the development of targeted biologics was our own human immune system\, so we began with an in-depth explanation of immunology. The course then focused on the science\, challenges\, and medical promise of next generation targeted biologics. BioBasics 201 was designed for the non-scientist who had taken BioBasics 101 or for those who understood the basics of DNA\, RNA\, proteins\, and cell signaling. Taught by industry experts who explained how these complex drugs work in a simple\, engaging manner. \nFive Takeaways: \n1. Understood the mechanisms used by the human body to protect itself against disease. \n2. Fluency in vaccine platforms\, how each protected against disease including Covid-19. \n3. Rational of therapeutic antibody mechanisms of action\, including monoclonal antibodies\, antibody-drug conjugates\, bispecific antibodies\, checkpoint inhibitors. \n4. Compared and contrasted types of DNA- and RNA-based therapies and how each cured disease. \n5.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \nThe life sciences sector is rapidly expanding in British Columbia\, and for good reason. Groundbreaking research within the province has yielded some of the world’s most promising breakthroughs in life-saving innovations and has enhanced the overall well-being of Canadians nationwide. Very quickly\, B.C. has become a global star due to the tireless efforts of dedicated life scientists and the cutting-edge facilities and research centers that support their endeavors. \nJoin us for this event moderated by BIV publisher and executive editor Kirk LaPointe\, which will celebrate the legacy and impact of Dr. Helen Burt. A founding scientist of adMare’s predecessor\, The Centre for Drug Research and Development (CDRD)\, Dr. Burt has had an esteemed career as a Professor of Drug Delivery in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia (UBC). She has published more than 160 peer-reviewed papers and holds eight patents. \nOur panel will feature some of the leaders in this sector who will discuss Dr. Burt’s impact as well as the evolution of the life sciences industry in British Columbia and will shed light on its potential to become one of the province’s most defining and impactful economic drivers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Date & Time\nOctober 25\, 2023 | 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM PT \nLocation\nTerminal City Club\, Vancouver\, BC\, V6C 1B6 \nPrice \nEarly Bird: $49 \nBIV Subscribers: $59 \nNon-subscribers: $79 \nSpecial discounted tickets for LSBC members at $49 – please reach out to Claire Nelson at cnelson@lifesciencesbc.ca for the discount code. \nRegistration fees will apply at checkout[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\nGuests \n\nDr. Helen Burt\, Professor Emeritus\, UBC\nWendy Hurlburt\, President & CEO of Life Sciences BC\nGordon C.
