2:00 p.m. Room 206A
The 2010 Ralph N. Adams Award in Bioanalytical Chemistry will be presented to Catherine Fenselau, Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Maryland (College Park, Maryland), on Wednesday afternoon at Pittcon 2010. The award is sponsored jointly by the Pittsburgh Conference and Friends of Ralph N. Adams. Fenselau will receive the award from Edward P. Ladner, Jr., the Immediate Former President of the Pittsburgh Conference. The award recognizes outstanding scientists who have advanced the field of bioanalytical chemistry through research, innovation, and education. Fenselau will be honored for her leadership in the use of mass spectrometry to study biomolecules. The award presentation will be followed by a session of oral presentations on mass spectrometry and biological molecules such as glycoproteins, the origin of life, and proteome analysis.
Fenselau’s research group focuses on areas such as biomolecular studies using mass spectrometry, interactions of drugs and proteins, rapid characterization of microorganisms by mass spectrometry, and mechanisms of acquired drug resistance.
Fenselau has received a number of awards for her efforts, including the Maryland Chemist Award from the American Chemical Society in 1989, the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh Medal in 1993, the Eastern Analytical Society Award in Analytical Chemistry in 1999, the AnaChem Award in 2003, the Hillebrand Medal from the Chemical Society of Washington in 2005, and the Field and Franklin Award from the American Chemical Society for Contributions to Mass Spectrometry in 2008, and the Thompson Medal from the International Society of Mass Spectrometry in 2009.

Inside the Laboratory: The Richardson Group at the University of South Carolina
November 20th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Susan Richardson of the University of South Carolina discusses her laboratory’s work with using electron ionization and chemical ionization with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to detect DBPs in complex environmental matrices, and how her work advances environmental analysis.
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.
