Today’s workshops cover a variety of topics, including protein analysis, ‘omics, data analysis, a few specific areas of application, and career development.
Several workshops deal with protein analysis, including those on the characterization of biologics by mass spectrometry, the “galaxy” framework for biological MS informatics: practical tips for software developers and users; and current trends, gaps, and needs in workflows for absolute protein quantitation by LC–MS.
Two relate to ‘omics topics, including sessions on using mass spectrometry to characterize the exposome and its impact on human health; and quantitative glycomics.
Workshops on data analysis include one on data-independent acquisition and another on mechanisms to process data given software restrictions across vendors.
Other topics cover the use of mass spectrometry in various application areas, including polymers and materials; flavor, fragrance and foodstuffs; and art, cultural heritage, and natural history.
Other workshops relate to career development. One workshop provides tips for effective PowerPoint presentations. And the young mass spectrometrists interest group asks you to “get ready to become a rising star” in MS.
Lastly, the ion-trap interest group is holding a discussion on the question, Have quadrupole ion traps passed their prime time?
All workshops are held on level 3, from 5:45 to 7:00 pm, with light refreshments available.
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.
