Clinical Pharmacology Leaders
Dose optimization, PK/PD modeling, and exposure-response analysis.
Bioanalytical Scientists
Assay development, validation, and immunogenicity strategy.
Biomarker Scientists
Translating biomarker data into development decisions.
Translational Medicine Professionals
Bridging nonclinical data to first-in-human strategy.
DMPK Professionals
ADME, PK translation, and modality-specific development.
Clinical Development Leaders
Program strategy across Phase I–III studies.
Clinical Operations Professionals
Trial execution, sample logistics, and site coordination.
Directors, VPs & Senior Scientists
Across biotech and biopharma organizations.
These discussions are exploratory. Formal project scoping or regulatory advice requires structured engagement and confidentiality agreements.
Scientific Insights
Practical approaches to bioanalysis, immunogenicity, ADC assays, dose optimization, and biomarker strategy, grounded in real case studies.
Peer-to-Peer Learning
Hear directly from industry leaders and invited speakers, and join a live panel on what Bay Area biotechs need from their partners.
Valuable Networking
Connect with scientific leaders, executives, and peers across the Bay Area biotech ecosystem over lunch, breaks, and the reception.
