SUMMARY:More Than Pink Walk
DESCRIPTION:What is the MORE THAN PINK Walk?\nThe MORE THAN PINK Walk\, Susan G. Komen’s largest fundraising event series\, evolved from the Race for the Cure in 2018. Each year\, we host over 100\,000 participants at our 40+ in-person (and one virtual) walks across the U.S. Since the first Walk in 2018\, our participants have raised more than $60 million dollars and continue to be a part of a community committed to our vision of a world without breast cancer. \nWith inclusive and accessible options for people of all ages and abilities – including breast cancer survivors\, those currently in treatment for breast cancer and people living with metastatic breast cancer – the Walk provides participants the opportunity to come together and connect in meaningful ways. It allows us to focus on sharing our passion\, sharing our stories and connecting with others\, all while fundraising to support life-saving programs and research. \nOur finish line is a world without breast cancer\, and we know the only way we can get there is together. \nWhat does it mean to be More Than Pink?\nFor too long\, pink has been connected to breast cancer awareness. However\, people impacted by breast cancer need more than awareness; they need access to treatment\, emotional support and so much more. It will take more than pink to help achieve our vision of a world without breast cancer. \nIt’s more than a pink-themed costume\, wig or pink ribbon at a fundraising event and it’s more than one month a year. Together\, we are More Than Pink: passionate and supportive people dedicated to supporting those who need help today while tirelessly searching for tomorrow’s cures. \nREGISTER» \nView FullscreenSkip to PDF content\n

SUMMARY:Breakfast briefing: Navigating California’s climate disclosure mandates (SB 253 & SB 261)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for your first cup of coffee at our morning seminar to help companies understand and prepare for compliance with California’s groundbreaking climate legislation: the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) and the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (SB 261). \nIn today’s fragmented regulatory landscape\, California has pulled ahead with the introduction of corporate climate disclosure mandates\, which will begin to apply from 1 January 2026. These new laws have wide-ranging application and will require thousands of companies to disclose greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks regardless of where they are headquartered. In anticipation of the draft disclosure requirements for SB 253 (the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) being published on October 14th\, our seminar will focus on how companies can prepare to meet the upcoming requirements as effectively and efficiently as possible. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

Selection of right vehicles and the suitable method of preparation\, inactive ingredients\, pH\, viscosity\, flow properties\, wetting/dispersibility\, solubilizers\, and stabilizers are some of the important parameters for formulating a soluble\, stable\, and bioavailable formulation. Strong pharmaceutics knowledge and experience in formulation development can lead to scientifically robust formulations. \nYou will learn the following in this lab course: \n\nPrinciples and best practices of preclinical formulation development\nFormulations and vehicles suitable for animal PK/Pharmacology/Tox studies\nHands-on experience with formulation preparation and characterization:\n\nSolution formulations\nSuspensions and Emulsions\nSolid formulations: Powder-in-Bottle (PIB)\, Capsules and Tablets\n\n\n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Developability Assessment: Why\, What\, and How.
DESCRIPTION:Developability is an increasingly critical concept in antibody discovery and development. Previously associated with late-stage outcomes such as stability and formulation\, developability assessment is now integrated earlier in the discovery process to enable multidimensional profiling of lead candidates. \nSeminar Objectives: \n\nHow developability guides real-world projects. From optimizing machine learning algorithms with AI to enabling stability-driven antibody engineering\, developability insights are becoming deeply embedded in discovery workflows. As our understanding evolves\, so too will its role in shaping the future of drug development.\nWhy developability assessments are essential at multiple stages. As biologics grow more complex\, early evaluation is key to identifying promising leads. Evidence shows clear correlations between developability parameters and pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior.\nWhat developability entails. It refers to key biophysical properties such as hydrophobicity\, thermal stability\, colloidal stability\, non-specific binding\, and surface charge that collectively inform candidate viability. Our comprehensive assessments complement functional data to support lead selection.\n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Preclinical Development and IND Filing for Antibody Therapeutics: the Nuts\, Bolts and Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:The investigational new drug application (IND) is an important step to achieve in antibody-based therapeutics\, and understanding the requirements for a successful IND filing is important to ensure fast and efficient development. While the principles and basics are similar across different modalities for an IND filing such as safety studies\, there are important aspects that need to be considered for antibody-based therapeutics. In this workshop\, we will cover the best practices for a successful IND package of an antibody candidate. Our highly experienced speakers will discuss the preclinical studies for antibody-based therapeutics IND packages. \nTopics to be covered: \n\nOverview of preclinical development and IND filing –requirements for antibody-based therapeutics\nRequired preclinical studies for\n\nSafety assessment\nPharmacology\nPharmacokinetics\nCMC (Chemistry\, Manufacturing\, Control)\n\n\nClinical development plans\nRegulatory strategies and agency interactions\nFDA’s perspective\n\nREGISTER»\nHosted by:
