Retroscreen Virology, the global leader in human challenge model research, will be attending the 2nd "Vaccines Research Summit" taking place in London, UK, 22 - 23 April 2014.

The summit is focused on improving strategies for innovation and scientific advancement in vaccine research.

Dr Anthony Lockett, Retroscreen Senior Medical Director, will be speaking at the conference on day one, presenting "Fast track development of manufacturing processes for recombinant vaccine proteins produced using microbial systems."  Dr Lockett's presentation will cover topics including the rapid selection of an optimal expression system and early definition of the upstream production process, exploiting pre-optimised platform approaches to purification to quickly define and establish the manufacturing process for bulk API, and reducing time-lines to move to clinical development. 

In addition, Dr Lockett will be delighted to discuss all aspects of Retroscreen's service provision and its pioneering approach to early phase clinical research with regard to human viral challenge studies in flu, RSV and rhinovirus. He will be joined during the two-day Summit by Mike Lawson, Business Development Director at Retroscreen.
