Precision in Antibody Format Design – Webinar with Dotmatics & BioGlyph.

October 6, 2025 by Joshua Dorai

In next generation antibody discovery, precision is everything. Even small oversights can cascade through workflows, compromising data and decisions.

Join experts from Dotmatics and BioGlyph in a webinar hosted by The Antibody Society to explore how precision from sequence design to data integration can transform antibody R&D.

We’ll highlight how platforms like Luma and BioGlyph tackle challenges in data fidelity, workflow integration, and early error detection, helping scientists make smarter, faster decisions.

𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀:

  • Fernando Garces, Ph.D. – CEO, BioGlyph
  • Christian Olsen, Ph.D. – VP, Strategy, Protein Therapeutics, Dotmatics
