The 17th annual
Westin Immunogenicity Seminar
Thursday, September 25, 2025 | 9:00 am – 6:00 pm | The Westin Hotel, Meguro, Tokyo
Join us for the 17th Annual Westin Immunogenicity Seminar, a free event that brings together leaders in immunology, biotechnology, and drug development. This year’s agenda will feature in-depth presentations on immunogenicity considerations for novel and rapidly advancing modalities, including CAR-T and gene therapies, multi-specific biologics, and AI-powered immunogenicity risk assessment platforms.
You’ll hear from distinguished speakers representing Bristol Myers Squibb, EpiVax, Osaka University, and other global leaders in the field. The seminar also includes ample opportunities for networking, a collaborative panel discussion to highlight key takeaways, and a closing reception that encourages continued connection and conversation over light refreshments.
Designed for both academic and industry professionals, this annual gathering is a valuable forum for idea sharing, exploring research advances, and aligning on strategies that close the gap between biologic drug development and the latest in immunogenicity science.
Please note: This is an in-person event with no options for virtual attendance.
