I must admit, I’m a sucker for just about any list article. Show me a title such as, “8 Reasons Why…” or “10 Movies That…”, and there’s a pretty good chance I’ll click. I often find myself scrolling through the strangest lists, reviewing things that I really don’t care about – kitchen gadgets, closet organizing products, stocking stuffers. I’m hopeless. I’m compelled to click.
Can a small plasmid provide big benefits for research and development? That was the question NanoplasmidTM inventor, Jim Williams, Ph.D., summarized in this webinar and panel discussion. Dr. Williams was joined by an experienced Aldevron team to answer questions about the combined power of Nanoplasmid technology and Aldevron manufacturing experience.
Managing the H1N1 outbreak in 2009 was considered a practice run for the recent SARS-CoV2 pandemic and, over the last two years, we certainly learned a great deal in being prepared for the next virus to gain a foothold. That was the backdrop as we returned to the World Vaccine Congress in Washington, DC.
Aldevron recently hosted a webinar through FIERCE Biotech titled: Applying Experience - Partnering with Pioneers to Deliver Plasmid for Discovery Through Commercial Application.

Like many trade shows, conferences and other events this year, the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) had to quickly make alternative arrangements for its annual meeting due to COVID-19. To avoid cancelling this highly anticipated event, organizers opted for a virtual conference for speakers, exhibitors and attendees.
Representatives from Aldevron will attend the 22nd Annual Meeting for the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT), April 29 - May 2, 2019, in Washington, D.C.
Earlier this month Aldevron hosted its first scientific conference, the Breakthrough Symposium. We felt the time was right, given 2018 is Aldevron’s 20th anniversary, to invite those in the gene and cell therapy fields to Fargo, North Dakota, for collaboration, networking and fellowship. We were overwhelmed and gratified by the response!
