The Role of Protein Analytics in the Advancement of Biotherapeutic Drug Discovery & Development

Life Sciences, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Thursday, March 16, 2023

Bioanalytical testing is a critical component to all successful drug discovery and development programs. IND-enabling studies require that biotherapeutic proteins or biologics undergo rigorous testing to increase the likelihood of being developed into drug products. Using a set of biochemical and biophysical assays, the purity, structural integrity and chemical stability of potential biotherapeutics are established and used to determine the candidates with favorable profiles to advance or redesign. In this webinar, the featured speaker will explore the role of protein analytics in the advancement of biotherapeutic drug discovery and development.

The webinar will cover current technologies used to assess the qualities of the target biotherapeutics, screening assays for potential biologics and approaches implemented for validating hits. Analytical techniques covered include:

  • Capillary electrophoresis-sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS)
  • Capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF)
  • Size exclusion chromatography-HPLC (SEC-HPLC)/multiangle light scattering (MALS)
  • LC/MS
  • DLS/SLS
  • LAL (limulus amebocyte lysate)
  • Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC)
  • Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)
  • Surface plasmon resonance/biolayer interferometry (SPR/BLI)

Register today to learn about the importance of protein analytics and review some of the main technologies for assessing the quality of biological therapeutics.
