Several times a year, MabDesign publishes its “Watches”, unique reviews aimed at the industry’s academic and industrial players. Drawing on our in-depth expertise and understanding of the field, the aim of our Watchs is to provide these players with the latest and most relevant data on scientific research, market analysis, intellectual property and continuing education. Two types of Watch are published each year: the Immunowatch, focusing on biotherapies, and the Bioprocesswatch, focusing on biomanufacturing.
Immunowatch
Your biotherapy magazine
In English only
Each edition of Immunowatch focuses on a topic of interest to the sector: for example, a specific type of biotherapy, or the panorama of biotherapies in a given therapeutic area.
A series of special editions on COVID19 was also published.
BioprocessWatch
Your bioproduction magazine
In English only
Each year, a topic related to biomanufacturing is chosen as the focus of a Bioprocesswatch.
This could be an innovative biomanufacturing technology, or the production of a particular biotherapy, for example.
A Bioprocesswatch “Meeting report ” is also published following our BIOPC congress: it contains a summary of the main lectures, presentations from all the parallel sessions, etc.
The choice of themes to be addressed each year is made by the MabDesign’s Scientific advisory board (COSSF) and the content of each issue is supervised by an editorial committee (excluding special issues), made up of two or three experts in the field from academia and industry.
