Oliver Jones Receives 2022 Barry Inglis Medal
Oliver Jones has been awarded the 2022 Barry Inglis Medal for his extended and careful development of analytical measurement techniques at the recent National Measurement Institute’s (NMI) 2022 Metrology Awards.
Oliver Jones, Professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), has been awarded the 2022 Barry Inglis Medal for his extended and careful development of analytical measurement techniques at the recent National Measurement Institute’s (NMI) 2022 Metrology Awards.
The prestigious Barry Inglis Medal recognizes outstanding measurement-related achievements in Australia or by Australians. Bruce Warrington, NMI’s CEO and Chief Metrologist, and Cathy Foley, Australia’s Chief Scientist, announced the winners at a special event for National Science Week.
Jones’s research has applied several measurement innovations across a range of fields, including environmental monitoring for chemicals of concern, and metabolomics.
“Professor Jones’s work is an excellent example of the illustrious achievements the Barry Inglis Medal is intended to recognize. His leadership, collaborations, contribution to professional bodies, and commitment to science communication are notable,” said Warrington.

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.
