day: Day Two Track 1 AM

1.00 Roundtable Discussion: Looking Beyond Transferrin for New Receptor-Ligand Pair Opportunities 1:00 pm

More practical and highly interactive breakout roundtables where attendees can crowd-source solutions and share opinions around pre-assigned topic areas.  What are the other receptors that could be harnessed for transcytosis across the blood-brain barrier? How can we overcome species differences in these new receptors of interest? Which receptors have the greatest potential to be de-risked…Read more
