Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Inaugural
SYMPOSIUM: Display of Biologics
Where the Next Generation of Biologics Begins
January 18, 2027
Display of Biologics joins PepTalk for the first time in 2027. In this one-day symposium, leading scientists will cover three essential frontiers: next-generation display platforms for challenging targets, to AI/ML tools transforming library design and candidate optimization, to selecting function-first, conditionally active, and non-antibody biologics pushing the boundaries of what display-selected molecules can do. Whether you are optimizing your display campaign, integrating computational design, or selecting clinically differentiated molecules, Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Inaugural Display of Biologics Symposium delivers insights you don’t want to miss.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
INNOVATIONS IN DISPLAY PLATFORMS: NEW SYSTEMS FOR UNREACHABLE/CHALLENGING TARGETS
- Displays with higher library diversity
- Click display, novel cell-free formats, library-on-library platforms, etc.
- Whole-cell panning to identify binders, targets, and novel epitope discovery
- Beyond conventional displays for GPCR/membrane protein targets
BEYOND BINDING: FUNCTION-FIRST SELECTION, CONDITIONAL ACTIVITY AND NOVEL MODALITIES
- Select for functional outcomes, allosteric modulation, developability, etc.
- Select for non-antibody scaffolds, peptides, cytokine receptors, TCRs
THE DISPLAY AND AI SYNERGY AND INTEGRATION
- Better display data. Better models.
- ML-guided library design vs. random diversity
- ML-guided co-optimization of library fitness and diversity
- Lab-in-a-loop therapeutic antibody design
The deadline for priority consideration is June 26, 2026.
All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
