Immune Engineering -
from Molecules to Therapeutic Approaches

Stadthaus Ulm
December 1, 2023

2nd Joint Meeting of GBM & BioPharma Cluster South Germany


Welcome

 
Dear colleagues and friends,

Following our successful joint event on RNA Therapeutics last year, we will continue our collaboration and would like to invite you to the 2nd joint event of the BioPharma Cluster South Germany and the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM).

This year, we will focus on translational research in immune engineering, covering basic research, drug development and manufacturing, and clinical application. The patients' perspective will also be addressed in the panel discussion. The target audience is researchers, developers and engineers from industry and academia, young scientists, physicians, and anyone who would like to have a look at the big picture of what we do for patients with our contributions in research, engineering, manufacturing, analytical testing and clinical application.

 

 


At the end of the event, we offer all participants the opportunity for exchange and networking.

We would be pleased to welcome you on December 1st at the “Stadthaus” in Ulm at the Münster Platz hosting Ulm´s Christmas Market at that time and look forward to an inspiring meeting and networking event!

Uwe Bücheler
(Senior Advisor Biopharmaceuticals, Boehringer Ingelheim; Chairman of the BioPharma Cluster South Germany)
