May 12-14, 2026 | Thomas B. Menino Convention Center | Boston, MA

Cell and gene therapy research is demanding. Every characterization run, release test, or RUO to GMP transition is a step closer to a therapy that could change a patient's life. Researchers who move from bench to clinic fastest are the ones who never have to second-guess the tools in their hands.

At R&D Systems by Bio-Techne, our solutions are built to give you that confidence. Our Simple Western™ technology on Jess™ enables fully automated, precise, quantifiable protein characterization without the variability of manual blotting. High‑resolution CE and icIEF on Maurice™ and ultra‑sensitive, low‑CV immunoassays on Ella™ deliver the analytical depth and consistency needed for confident decision‑making. And with Pala™, our next‑generation single‑cell sorter, you can isolate, interrogate, and characterize individual cells with the precision required for advanced CGT discovery and process development.

Featuring animal‑free RUO and GMP proteins, validated antibodies, and small molecules—plus a seamless path to GMP‑grade materials when your program is ready to scale—our portfolio supports every stage of your CGT workflow. Early discovery through clinical readiness, we provide the analytical tools and reagents you need to move forward with confidence.

Simple Western - A Capillary Immunoassay for Quantitative Protein Expression Analysis from Discovery to Product Release for Cell and Gene Therapies

Discover how Leo™ capillary immunoassays are transforming protein characterization across the cell and gene therapy workflow. This session will highlight how automated, highly quantitative protein expression analysis supports every stage—from early discovery and process development to late‑stage quality control and product release. Learn how Simple Western delivers reproducible, high‑resolution data, reduces manual variability, and accelerates decision‑making for critical CQAs in complex therapeutic modalities.

Quantification of Dystrophin in a Humanized Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Mouse Model Using Simple Western

With over 15 years of experience in pediatric neuromuscular research, Dr. Gibbs has led diverse projects to uncover and treat the molecular roots of childhood muscle disorders. She will share how her team, along with collaborators at UCLA, have used the Jess capillary system to sensitively and quantitatively measure the restoration of dystrophin in treated dystrophic muscle.
