The Desty Memorial Lecture
The 15th Desty Memorial Lecture for Innovation In Separation Science is set to take place on 6 October at the Royal Institution in London, UK.
The 15th Desty Memorial Lecture for Innovation In Separation Science is set to take place on 6 October at the Royal Institution in London, UK. The lectures will be presented by leading separation scientists from major industrial companies and universities from around the world.
The first lecture, ‘Seeing the Unseen in Sample Preparation’, will be presented by Tony Edge from ThermoFisher and will be followed by Gillian Greenway from the University of Hull, who will ask the question ‘Will Minaturization and Separations fit the bill?’ Brett Paull from Dublin City University will then discuss monoliths before Keith Fadgen from Waters presents ‘Fractionation Strategies for Multidimensional Proteomic Separations’. Johan Roeraade from the Royal institute of Technology in Stockholm will then talk about his exploits in the gas phase and Milos Novotny from Indiana University will discuss his long journey from capillary gas chromatography to the world of glycomes and proteomes.

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
