Delray Beach, Florida, USA | OCTOBER 27 – 30, 2024
The International Symposium on the Separation of Proteins, Peptides, and Polynucleotides (ISPPP) 2024 will convene in Delray Beach, Florida, from October 27 to 30. This prestigious event gathers leading scientists to discuss the latest advancements in the separation, purification, and characterization of biologically important molecules.
Theme and Focus
ISPPP 2024 will spotlight developments to address key challenges such as miniaturization, the complexity of biomolecule mixtures, maintaining protein structure and function, and scaling up purification processes for biotherapeutics. These issues are crucial for advancing productivity, regulatory compliance, and financial efficiency in this exciting field.
The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including:
- Proteomics and protein measurements
- High-resolution separations methods (LC, CE, hyphenated methods)
- Diagnostic and therapeutic biomolecule analytics
- Complex structures and assemblies—vectors, particles, and cells
- Novel separation approaches and multi-dimensional methods
- Monoclonal antibodies and synthetic/biological nucleic acids
- Glycans and complex carbohydrates
