The Antibody Society
Welcome to the Annual Meeting of The Antibody Society. The Society was formed in 2007 to broadly further the interests of the antibody and related binder community. The GIATTE initiative has begun to ensure community involvement in the development of guidelines for the safe and thorough development of antibody and related therapeutic agents, from the lab through the clinic. The official journal of the Society is PEDS (Protein Engineering, Design and Selection), and members receive a special discount for subscriptions and for registration to attend our Annual Meeting. The Society represents this increasingly diverse field by supporting the resources that promote successful engineering of recombinant antibodies, single scaffold binders, related immunobiology and informatics, and other facets of basic and applied, and clinical research by those in academics and the private sector. The Society also seeks to provide a forum and voice for all aspects of this global field. By joining The Antibody Society, members will help the Society support its goals, including the following:

• To encourage participation at important meetings in our field
• To establish committees that will assess topics of urgency
• To develop guidelines for information about antibody therapy experiments (GIAATE) that help to ensure the safety of antibody or related therapeutics, from the lab stage through preclinical and clinical testing
• To work for development and acceptance of formats for the interoperability of data, databases, informatics and computational resources underpinning this field
• To work for the support, maintenance, and improvement of other critical resources in this field
• To develop mechanisms that encourages the training and funding of students, postdocs, and others in this field
