Armin Sepp is Scientific Leader and GSK Associate Fellow at the Systems Modeling and Translational Biology group of GlaxoSmithKline where he is providing early stage project support for biotherapeutic projects covering mAbs, antibody fragments as well as cell and gene therapy products. His post-doctoral training in protein engineering and in vitro evolution at the MRC Immunochemistry Unit in Oxford and MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge was followed by application of the experience gained in the field of antibody engineering as Senior Scientific Investigator at Domantis Ltd in Cambridge. This start-up company focussed on the development of human heavy and light chain antibody variable domains (dAbs) as a novel therapeutic platform and was acquired by GlaxoSmithKline in 2007. From there on, the need for improved predictive mechanistic understanding of the tissue distribution, penetration and elimination properties of these novel therapeutics, as well as biologics in general, led him to modeling and simulation, with focus on cross-modality/cross-species physiologically based pharmacokinetics of therapeutic proteins, including monoclonal antibodies and fragments thereof.
There are two parts to the Festival of Biologics: the five world-class international conferences covering Antibodies, Immunotherapy, BioSimilars, Clinical Trials, and High Potency APIs; and an exhibition featuring the most exciting technology and solutions for pharma and biotech. There is a registration fee to attend the conferences. To visit the exhibition is free.
