Dear Friends and Colleagues,

BIT Life Sciences is proud to announce that the 3rd Annual International Congress of Antibodies (ICA-2011) will be held March 23-25, 2011 in Beijing, China with the theme “Discovery, Partnering to Market.” On behalf of the organizing committee, I cordially invite you to attend our conference.

Initiated by BIT Life Sciences in 2008, ICA offers a unique meeting place for professionals from all over the world to share scientific information, seek research collaborations, foster new business opportunities, and discuss how to prevent and treat disease. In 2010, ICA was held with the 2nd Annual World Vaccine Congress (WCV-2010). These 2 conferences brought together more than 1000 participants and 100 exhibitors from 46 countries worldwide. This year the 2 conferences will be held together again, and we will endeavor to provide a better platform for vaccine researchers, clinicians, epidemiologists, microbiologists, immunologists, molecular biologists, public health officials, representatives from pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and policy makers to discuss the latest developments in the fields of vaccines and antibodies in order to work towards saving and enhancing lives.

On behalf of the organizing committee of ICA-2011, I would like to welcome all new participants and old friends for your involvement in this annual event. I appreciate all the scientific advisors, session organizers, supporters, and the organizing committee members for the enormous effort they put forth to bring this grand program together. This international event will take place in Beijing, a modern and yet appealingly ancient city. After the conference, you are welcome to join the tour to Beijing and Xi’an to experience traditional Chinese culture, enjoy the food of China, and see the amazing terra-cotta warriors.

We look forward to your participation in this influential event in antibody science.

Sincerely Yours,

Xiaodan Mei, Ph.D.
Executive Chair of ICA-2011
