Livia Schiavinato Eberlin of the University of Texas at Austin has won the 2020 Pittsburgh Conference Achievement Award. The award, given by the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, recognizes individuals for outstanding achievements in the fields of analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy within 10 years after completion of their PhD work.
As an undergraduate at the Thomson Laboratory of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil, Eberlin visited the Aston Laboratory at Purdue University to also pursue undergraduate research in mass spectrometry (MS). She received her B.S. in Chemistry from UNICAMP in 2007. Following that, she started a PhD program in analytical chemistry at Purdue under the mentorship of Prof. R. Graham Cooks. During this time, Eberlin developed and applied ambient ionization MS imaging to human cancer diagnosis.
In recognition of her work, Eberlin has received many awards, including the Nobel Laureate Signature Award from the American Chemical Society. She started postdoctoral work at Stanford University in 2012 under the guidance of Prof. Richard N. Zare, where she continued to develop MS technology for biomedical research. During that time, she received the L’Oréal for Women in Science Fellowship, a K99 pathway to independence award from the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI), and was listed in the Forbes 30 under 30 list in Science and Healthcare.
Eberlin started her independent career as an Assistant Professor in the Chemistry Department at the University of Texas at Austin in 2016. Since then, she and her group have received several recognitions for their research. In 2018, Eberlin was named a Sloan Research Fellow, a Moore Inventor Fellow, and a MacArthur Fellow.

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.
