Modern challenges in therapeutic protein production.

The Modern Challenges in Therapeutic Protein Production conference hosted 44 delegates from the UK and Germany and was organized by EuroSciCon. The aim of the meeting was to look at the challenges that currently face the production of therapeutic proteins and to attempt to demystify some of the novel approaches and new technologies that are being developed and could have applications in this area. The Chair, Brendan Fish (GlaxoSmithKline, Barnard Castle, UK), gave a detailed introduction to the conference and finished with a summation at the end.
