Immunology and Immunotoxicology Endpoints in Early Drug Development
About this webinar
Immune system safety assessment has emerged as a significant and indispensable area of the drug preclinical development industry, especially for biologics. To help drug development sponsors better understand this rapidly growing field, this webinar provides a comprehensive overview of immunotoxicity assessment and its pivotal role in drug safety.
Join this webinar to gain insights into predicting potential immunotoxicity, understanding regulatory guidelines and comparing common investigative approaches. The speakers will cover core assays, which remain critical for compounds that impact the immune system, as well as discuss recent trends with translational assays such as cytokine release and receptor occupancy along with potential areas for advanced development.
