The Chinese American Chromatography Association (CACA) invites nominations for three awards: the 2018 CACA Young Investigator Award; the 2018 CACA Student Excellence Award; and the HPLC 2018 Student Travel Award.
The Chinese American Chromatography Association (CACA) invites nominations for three awards: the 2018 CACA Young Investigator Award; the 2018 CACA Student Excellence Award; and the HPLC 2018 Student Travel Award.
The CACA Young Investigator Award of $1000 is open to all CACA members who are within 10 years of receiving their highest degree at the time of the award session.
The 2018 CACA Student Excellence Award of $500 for each awardee recognizes outstanding contributions to the development of separation science and its applications, especially in the field of chromatography. The award is supported by Mac-Mod Analytical.
The Young Investigator and Student Excellence Awards will be presented at the CACA networking dinner event at Pittcon 2018, in Orlando, Florida, from February 26–March 1, 2018.
The HPLC 2018 Student Travel Award of $500 recognizes outstanding contributions to the development of separation science and its applications, especially in the field of chromatography. The award will be announced at the HPLC 2018 conference (July 29 to August 2, 2018, in Washington, DC). The Student Travel Award is open to all CACA members who are graduate students at the time of the award session. The awardee is requested to present his or her work during the CACA network dinner event at HPLC 2018.
Potential candidates for any of these awards must be members of CACA to be eligible, and may join the organization for free simply by joining the CACA group on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1857030.

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
