OCTOBER 21 & 23, 2025

Humanized Minipigs in Regulatory Toxicology



REGISTRATION CLOSED 10 OCTOBER

Basel, Switzerland

21 October, 2025

Munich, Germany

23 October 2025

WHAT'S ABOUT EVENT

Join us for an in-person scientific session dedicated to exploring the application of Göttingen Minipigs in regulatory toxicology generally and the rising use of IgG1/IgG4 humanized Göttingen Minipigs for humanized/human therapeutic Antibody studies. Through expert talks and interactive discussions, this session will spotlight the scientific rationale, advantages, and strategic considerations for incorporating the IgG1/IgG4 humanized minipig model into nonclinical safety programs. 

We’ll explore: 
  • Species selection logic in regulatory toxicology 
  • Practical considerations for study design and regulatory acceptance 
  • Where IgG1/IgG4 humanized minipigs offer meaningful translational value 
  • Their suitability across different therapeutic modalities (e.g., mAbs, ADCs)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This session is designed for nonclinical development leaders, regulatory toxicologists, and translational scientists assessing large animal models for both small molecules and biologics, including:

  • Safety assessment professionals planning IND-enabling studies for small molecules, monoclonal antibodies and ADCs
  • Translational scientists evaluating species relevance and model selection in regulatory toxicology
  • Preclinical R&D professionals exploring advanced therapeutic safety models across modalities

(Please note: this meeting is intended for professionals directly involved in nonclinical drug development to ensure discussions remain focused and valuable.)
