Your 2026 Biologics Conference Guide:
9 meetings worth your time andhow to actually use them
by Dr Jane Doe, Ph.D. — 8 minute read — April 27, 2026
Show up with a plan.
Come back with decisions.
Below you'll find the 9 biologics conferences worth your time in 2026, what you'll get from each one, and a practical checklist so you walk away with actionable insights, not just a tote bag.
Biologics R&D moves fast, and conferences remain one of the best ways to benchmark what "good" looks like, spot emerging best practices early, and reality-check your assumption before they turn into expensive experiments

Colloidal Stability: Beyond the Melting Curve
Similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus.
A Step-by-Step Workflow for Stability Screening

Key Parameters Measured in a Single Thermal Ramp Experiment
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium. Multi-parameter stability data collected early in development gives formulation teams the information they need to deprioritize poorly performing candidates before committing to expensive downstream studies.
Video 1: See how Prometheus Panta simultaneously measures Tm and Tagg in a single experiment. Runtime: ~3 min.

Formulation Screening at Scale
Learn how leading biopharma teams run 48-condition stability screens in a single day using Prometheus Panta.
~45min
Aggregation temperature — the onset of protein self-association, measured via static light scattering (SLS).
Tagg
Melting temperature — the midpoint of the protein's thermal unfolding transition, indicating conformational stability.
Tm
A non-active ingredient (e.g., sucrose, sorbitol) added to a formulation to stabilize the therapeutic molecule.
Excipient
Dynamic Light Scattering — technique to measure hydrodynamic radius and polydispersity of proteins in solution
DLS
Conclusion
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integrating multi-parameter stability data into early formulation workflows fundamentally changes how teams allocate resources. Rather than running sequential assays across separate instruments, scientists gain a comprehensive view of molecule behavior in a single, streamlined experiment.
