bioXchange 2021 will feature virtual presentations and discussions from leading experts in bioproduction and cell therapy.
"The panel discussion is probably the best part of the conference," said a 2020 attendee. "There are a lot of great questions raised, so I think the volume of feedback is integral to the success of it."
Review the full agenda below to see what's in store this year. Please note that registrants will receive instructions on how to connect virtually.
