The Latest Trends in Biopharmaceutical Analysis: A Virtual Symposium

This is now available on demand!

Event Overview

Spectroscopic techniques are on the forefront of discovery and for helping researchers find better treatments for a variety of diseases to improve human health. This one-day event, organized by Spectroscopy, The Coblentz Society, and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, will feature researchers on the cutting edge of biopharmaceutical and biospectroscopy analysis. These four sessions will focus on everything from the analysis of clinical stage antibodies, to photothermal mid-infrared imaging in biomedicine, and how new machine learning methods can enhance analysis results.

Key Learning Objectives

Analytical scientists who attend this educational event will learn:

The latest research and advances in biopharmaceutical development and biospectroscopy analysis.
The use of photothermal mid-infrared spectroscopic imaging in biomedicine.
How machine learning can be paired with spectroscopic techniques for improved analysis.
Cutting-edge techniques for scanning and analyzing clinical antibodies.
How O-PTIR spectral imaging can be used to study the composition of bones.

Who Should Attend

Analytical chemists in academia, government labs, and industry who want to learn more about the latest research and trends in biopharmaceutical analysis and biomedicine.
