Sunday afternoon’s plenary lecture at Pittcon 2010 will be presented by Alan G. Marshall, Robert O. Lawton Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Florida State University (Tallahassee, Florida), and Director of the Ion Cyclotron Resonance Program at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The lecture will be titled “The Role of High-End Instrumentation.”
Marshall’s plenary lecture will discuss how high-end analytical instrumentation has contributed to the advance of cutting-edge applications and has led to the availability of higher-performance lower-end instrumentation. He will provide examples drawn from his experience with synchrotrons, lasers, mass spectrometry, electron and optical microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and robotics.
Dr. Marshall began his college education at Northwestern University (Chicago, Illinois), where he received an B.A. degree with Honors in Chemistry in 1965. He received a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from Stanford University (Palo Alto, California) in 1970. In 1969, he joined the University of British Columbia’s (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) Chemistry faculty. In 1980, he left to become a professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Director of the Campus Chemical Instrument Center at Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio). He moved to Florida State University in 1993 to begin his current position. Marshall was a coinventor of Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICRMS), and continues to lead development of that technique. His current research interests include FT-ICRMS instrumentation development, fossil fuels and environmental analysis, and biological macromolecule structural mapping.

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.
