PROTEIN BIOLOGY: Enhancing LC-MS analysis of oligos, peptides, and glycans using hybrid surface technology
Jennifer Nguyen, Principal Scientist, Jacob Kellett, Associate Scientist, and Dr. Xiaoxiao Liu, Senior Scientist at Waters Corp, will describe the benefits of the ACQUITY PREMIER Solution with MaxPeak High Performance Surface Technology in mitigating problematic metal interactions.
Friday, May 7, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
OLIGOS: Bioanalytical method development for oligonucleotides: Overcoming the analytical challenges
Mary Trudeau, principal applications scientist at Waters Corporation, will outline the key challenges in method development for oligonucleotides and solutions to address them. Trudeau will illustrate these challenges and solutions through a number of examples, including various oligodeoxythymidines and the antisense oligonucleotide therapy, GEM91, and place particular emphasis on how to achieve maximum resource utilization and improve selectivity and sensitivity in oligonucleotide bioanalysis using LC-MS/MS.
Monday, May 10, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
3D CELL CULTURE: Multimodal analysis of anticancer drug testing in tumor-specific 3D cell culture models
Dr. Julia Kirshner, Founder and CEO of zPREDICTA, will discuss the advantages of using 3D culture models over the traditional methods, with particular emphasis on the importance of tumor microenvironment and tissue-relevant extracellular matrix (ECM) in obtaining accurate drug response data.
Wednesday, May 12, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
MASS SPECTROMETRY: Large molecules get SLIM: High-Resolution Ion Mobility for simplifying complex large molecule characterization
Dr. Jim Arndt, from MOBILion, and Dr. Jeffrey Agar, Associate Professor at Barnett Institute Northeastern University, will discuss the benefits of HRIM-MS for enhancing structural characterization of large molecule therapeutics, while increasing throughput and reducing reliance on LC-based methods.
Friday, May 14, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
