The Antibody Society is an international non-profit trade association representing individuals and organizations involved in antibody research and development. We aim to facilitate discussion and interchange of ideas regarding issues of fundamental importance for basic research, therapeutic development and clinical testing in the field. To achieve this objective, we organize meetings and workshops on topics relating to antibody research and development.
Recordings of our Symposia can be viewed on our YouTube channel. Topics include:
- Biopharmaceutical Informatics
- Harnessing Cytokines for Cancer Immunotherapy
- Emerging Immunotherapeutics for Ovarian Cancer Symposium
- Emerging Cancer Therapies Leveraging Gamma-Delta Effector T cells
Our educational webinars can be freely viewed On Demand. Our webinar series include:
- Antibody Discovery & Development
- Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoires
- Commercializing Antibody Therapeutics
- Antibodies to Watch
- Antibody Validation
Our Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) Community holds meetings and workshops designed to develop standards and recommendations for: 1) obtaining, analyzing, curating and comparing/sharing NGS AIRR datasets; 2) using and validating tools for analyzing AIRR data; 3) relating AIRR NGS datasets to other “big data” sets, such as microarray, flow cytometric, and MiSeq gene-expression data; and 4) legal and ethical issues involving the use and sharing of AIRR data sets derived from human sources.
The next AIRR Community Meeting (Meeting VII – Learnings and Perspectives) will be held in Porto, Portugal on June 3-6, 2024. Session topics include: 1) Basic Science: Advances in AIRR-sequencing: Addressing Fundamental Biological Processes, 2) Biomedical Science: Advances in AIRR-sequencing: Addressing Human Diseases, 3) Using IG and TR germline resources for advancing immunobiology and 4) Machine Learning applied to AIRR-seq data More information about the meeting (including registration) can be found here.
We serve as Scientific Advisors and Session Chairs for two key meetings, Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics, traditionally held in San Diego, and Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics Europe. Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics conferences are our premier forums for scientific exchange and networking in the fields of antibody engineering and therapeutics, immunobiology and next-generation binders. For over 25 years, renowned academic and industry scientists from around the world have convened to share best practices and scientific results to accelerate antibody research, discovery efforts and clinical programs. We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam and San Diego!

As a member of the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS), we also organize Symposia held during their annual meeting.
