LCGC Lifetime Achievement Award
The 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award has been awarded to Professor Milos V. Novotny, Indiana University, Indiana, USA.
The 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award has been awarded to Professor Milos V. Novotny, Indiana University, Indiana, USA. Sponsored by LCGC Europe and presented on 2 February 2012 at the HTC-12 Conference in Bruges, Belgium, the award recognizes outstanding achievements in hyphenated techniques in chromatography and distinguished service to the international chromatographic community.
Professor Novotny’s research interests include separation science and structural analysis of biological molecules, proteomics and glycobiology, and chemical communication in mammals. He was a member of the Viking 1975 science team and designed the miniaturized gas chromatographic column to search for organic molecules on the surface of Mars. More recently, his group has also been known for identification of disease biomarkers through glycomics and glycoproteomics. He has written over 500 journal articles, reviews, books and patents and has received around 40 awards, medals and other distinctions.
Dr Hernan Cortes, Chairman, Lifetime Achievement Award in Chromatography selection committee, commented, “It is an honour and a pleasure to recognize such a distinguished scientist as Professor Novotny with the Lifetime Achievement Award in Chromatography. His scientific contributions, originality, individual qualities and prolific discoveries are a model to be pursued by scientists worldwide.”

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.
