Round Table Meeting - Humanized Göttingen Minipigs - Future Perspectives
Radisson Blu Hotel, Basel Steinentorstrasse 25 4051 Basel SwitzerlandScientific Meeting
Feb 01, 2023 | 9 am - 2 pm
Round Table Meeting - Humanized Göttingen Minipigs - Future Perspectives
Radisson Blu Hotel, Basel Steinentorstrasse 25 4051 Basel Switzerland
After the publication in Nature of the scientific article on the topic, the first humanized lgG Göttingen Minipigs were commercialised in the beginning of October. The humanized lgG Göttingen Minipigs have been genetically modified to carry a mini-repertoire of human genes for the immunoglobulin heavy chains y1 and 4 and the immunoglobulin light chain κ, making them less prone to developing an immune response to human antibodies and thereby open for the possibility to use minipigs as a non-rodent model for studies with therapeutic antibodies.
We will provide you with key insights into the new possibilities that have opened up with this scientific breakthrough.

Bench to Bedside - Approaches in drug research and development for pain therapies

Bench to Bedside - Approaches in drug research and development for pain therapies
Beit Ha Pnay, Cultural Center Moshe Levi St 6, Ness Ziona Israel
There has been tremendous progress over the past decade in understanding the neurobiology of pain and CNS conditions. An explosion of cutting-edge methodologies and tools are emerging that more closely link preclinical and clinical development.
Bridging the gap from bench to bedside will require new and innovative ways of thinking, an increased investment in resources, and a collaborative approach among industry experts.
MD Biosciences research collaborative is bringing together some of the most innovative minds for a 2-day event. These experts will discuss how translational models, biomarkers and other clinically relevant endpoints, and interactions with clinical physicians will bring new approaches that aid in successful development of pain therapies.

Humanized IgG Göttingen Minipigs
Ellegaard Göttingen Minipigs A/S
Genetically altered Göttingen Minipigs, carrying a mini repertoire of human Ig-γ1/γ4 heavy and the human κ light chain genes, show tolerance to a broad range of human antibodies. This provides a novel model for safety testing and an important and viable alternative for toxicology studies of therapeutic antibodies in non-human primates.
