Drug Digest: Analytics and Assays Strive to Keep Pace with Innovative Modalities

With the evolution of biologic modalities in the drug development pipeline, the biopharma industry understands that it must keep pace with the development and use of appropriate analytics and assays for molecule characterization, to determine product purity, safety, and efficacy, and even early on in the R&D process, where analytics are key in screening multitudes of molecules to determine viable candidates to move into the drug development phases. This episode of Drug Digest explores new and emerging technologies, such as mass photometry, machine learning, and AI, and their role in the analytical space for biologic modalities.

Interviews featuring

Salma Jalal, Product Marketing Manager, Refeyn

As a product marketing manager at Refeyn, Salma supports customers in biopharma and the life sciences to revolutionize their analytical workflows through the use of mass photometry. She holds a PhD in Mechanobiology from the National University of Singapore and has over a decade of technical expertise in the application of microscopy techniques to study biological systems. She has a particular interest in the analysis of biologics and is very happy to discuss all things biomolecular characterization.

Philipp Lorenz, PhD, Chief Technology Officer, Basecamp Research

Philipp Lorenz, PhD, is the chief technology officer (CTO) of Basecamp Research, based in London. He attended the University of Oxford from 2012 to 2016, where he co-founded the first iGEM team from Oxford alongside Glen Gowers, the CEO and co-founder, of Basecamp Research. Lorenz gained a Masters degree in Biochemistry and a PhD from Oxford in Genetics and Bioinformatics. He was a tutor at the institution, teaching Computational Biology, Statistics, and Genetics to undergraduate and graduate students. Previously the head of Data Science at Basecamp Research, Lorenz became the CTO in May 2022 and is driven by his passion to build the next generation of life science artificial intelligence solutions fueled by better data and deeper knowledge about life on earth.
