HUM-MOLGEN events: PHAGE DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES

HUM-MOLGEN -> Events -> Meetings and Conferences

November 29, 2001

Cambridge Healthtech Institute, University Park Hotel @ M.I.T. - Cambridge, Massachusetts
April 22-23, 2002

Phage display is a fundamental tool in protein engineering. The directed evolution of proteins using display methods can be engineered for specific properties and selectivity. This year's meeting will delve into the new methods involved in protein detection, amplification and directed evolution. This is essential to the proteomics effort aimed at identifying, mapping and understanding all proteins in a comprehensive manner. A variety of display approaches are employed for the engineering of optimized antibodies, as well as protein ligands, for such diverse applications as protein arrays, separations, and drug development. The use of phage display in screening for novel high affinity ligands and their receptors has been crucial in functional genomics and proteomics. Display methods will make it possible to target essential components and pathways within many different diseases, including cancer, AIDS, cardiovascular, and autoimmune disorders.
