Speaker 1: Tao He, PhD

Associate Research Fellow, BioMedicine Design, Pfizer Inc

“Impact of Ultra-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry on Early Stage Developability Assessment”

Abstract for Dr He:

Early analytical profiling has become an integral component in biologics discovery & development. This presentation will highlight the impact of applying ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry to facilitate selection and engineering of biologics leads. Approaches to minimize risks associated with chemical degradation and other biophysical properties will be discussed.

Speaker 2: Jason Wood, Ph.D.

Market Area Manager – BioPharma, Bruker Daltonics

“Overcoming the Challenges of Intact Biotherapeutics Characterization with Ultra-High Resolution Mass Spectrometers and the Latest in Automated Biopharmaceutical Software Package – Biopharma Compass 2.0”

Abstract for Dr Wood:

Attendees of this technology seminar will hear about the latest advancements in ultrahigh-resolution time-of-flight hardware and their application to the analytical challenges facing innovators and biosimilars characterization labs. Innovations in hardware, software and application-specific workflows will be highlighted. In particular, the use of MALDI- and LC-TOF hardware in combination, all acquired and visualized with a single, ease-to-use, 21CFR Part 11 compliant software package; Biopharma Compass 2.0. Several case studies involving monoclonal antibodies characterization will be presented to highlight: How high-confidence (high resolution) intact/subunit workflows improves labs productivity and; how automation of routine data processing tasks improves the system utilization time.
