SUMMARY:Seeing is Believing: How Cryo-EM is Transforming Antibody Discovery and Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Structural insights are transforming how therapeutic antibodies are discovered\, characterized\, and engineered. With advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM)\, researchers can now visualize antibody–antigen interactions at near-atomic resolution\, revealing critical information about epitopes\, binding mechanisms\, and molecular architecture. \nJoin FairJourney Bio as we introduce our new state-of-the-art Cryo-EM Center of Excellence in San Diego\, featuring two 5th-generation Titan Krios(TM) microscopes and an integrated structural biology platform. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore how cryo-EM is reshaping antibody discovery and engineering\, enabling researchers to tackle challenging therapeutic targets\, characterize complex antibody formats\, and leverage structural insights to make more informed development decisions. \nDiscover how integrating advanced structural biology with FairJourney’s antibody discovery and engineering capabilities can help accelerate the journey from target to therapeutic. \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please reach out to:Brad Screnci\, Business Development Manager\, US Mid-Atlantic & Southeast\, (brad.screnci@fjbio.com) \n			\n				Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:Sampling the whole immune response: design principles for a single B cell antibody discovery workflow
DESCRIPTION:An immunised animal has already solved the hard problems of affinity\, specificity and self-tolerance. Antibody discovery from an immune repertoire is therefore a sampling problem\, and every stage of a campaign is a chance to miss the clone you were looking for.  \nThis session walks through the design decisions behind a single B cell discovery platform\, from a CRO perspective where the balance between quality\, speed and cost is critical. It addresses the most valuable information to acquire before each irreversible step in the campaign. \nTopics include immunisation design as the first decision\, drawing on aggregated data from several hundred legacy campaigns; why the memory B cell and plasma cell compartments hold functionally different repertoires\, and how regimen and harvest timing shift the balance; how to match screening technology to scale\, target class and required readout\, including cell-based assay formats for conformational and multi-pass membrane targets; why sorted events are not hits\, and the cost of taking screening output straight into production; and how single B cell output feeds multispecific format scouting and developability selection through mammalian display. \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please reach out to:Brad Screnci\, Business Development Manager\, US Mid-Atlantic & Southeast (brad.screnci@fjbio.com) \n			\n				Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:The Science and Habits of Healthy Aging
DESCRIPTION:This year’s theme is The Science and Habits of Healthy Aging. What does it really mean to age well\, and how can the choices we make today shape our health in the years ahead? Our panel will examine research on nutrition\, sleep\, stress management\, physical activity\, and longevity and share practical ways to build habits that help us stay healthy\, active\, and independent as we age. \nJohn Cummins\, chair of our Life Sciences Committee\, will open the programme. He and Alanna Barry are both copied here. \n\nDr Sam Banerjee\, a board-certified gastroenterologist and founder of LongevIQ GI\, will bring a clinical perspective on gut health\, prevention\, and longevity.\nDr Patrick Davitt is Associate Professor of Health Sciences and Director of the Exercise Physiology Program at Saint Joseph’s University. His work spans nutrition\, exercise science\, and energy metabolism.\nAlyssa Spaw is a wellness speaker\, coach\, and certified personal trainer who draws on her background in psychology\, neuroscience\, and nutrition research to help people build sustainable habits.\n\n			\n				Click To Register
