Webinar on Analytical Support in the Development of Biologics

Description

Summary: Life-saving protein-based therapeutics are becoming an increasingly important therapeutic option. Analytical methods are deployed from the earliest moments of discovery up through delivery of approved protein therapeutics to patients, ensuring a safe and effective supply of drugs. So what is the role of analytical chemistry in the evaluation of protein drugs? When are certain approaches first engaged and what are the tools needed and methodologies employed? We’ll look at some of the key analysis techniques for proteins.
