Tutorial Session II: Eiden and Beachamp
This second of the two parallel tutorial sessions on Sunday evening includes talks from Gregory Eiden of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Jack Beauchamp of California Institute of Technology.
This second of the two parallel tutorial sessions on Sunday evening includes talks from Gregory Eiden of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Jack Beauchamp of California Institute of Technology.
Eiden will talk about mass spectrometry and nuclear forensics. Eiden is a laboratory fellow at PNNL. Laboratory fellows are appointed by PNNL's Laboratory Director based on recommendations of a review committee of laboratory fellows representing all research directorates in the organization. The fellows serve as a scientific and technical advisors to the directorate's management team and develop the cross-directorate science and technology strategy. About three percent of PNNL's researchers hold this rank. Some of Eiden’s recent research addresses the characterization of extreme ultraviolet laser-ablation mass spectrometry for actinide trace analysis, identifying anthoropogenic uranium compounds, and resolving radioisotopes of cesium.
Beauchamp’s talk is entitled, “From the Laboratory to the Stars.” Beauchamp’s research focuses on the development of novel mass spectrometric techniques in biochemistry. In 2007 he received the Distinguished Contribution Award from the American Society for Mass Spectrometry for the original development and chemical applications of ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy.
This session will be held from 5:00 to 6:30 in Ballroom 20A, on the upper level. Eiden will talk from 5:00 to 5:45, followed by Beauchamp from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m.

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.
