On this episode of Molecular Moments, Lynn Kamen, Ph.D., and Michelle Miller, Ph.D. DABT discuss their very different journeys to BioAgilytix as Scientific Officers. Despite different initial career paths, they both ended up working in bioanalysis, supporting the development of novel therapeutics. The pair discuss their favorite aspects of their day-to-day tasks at BioAgilytix, Scientific Office Hours, mentors (unofficial or otherwise), and the art of writing scientific papers. Additionally, they discuss the importance of bioanalysis, why transparency to the public is essential, and future challenges for the industry.

Lynn Kamen and Michelle Miller Talk Bioanalysis: Past, Present, and Future

On this episode of Molecular Moments, Dr. Amanda Hays chats with BioAgilytix scientists Dr. Shashank Gorityala, Associate Director of LC/MS Operations from our Durham lab, and Dr. Ben Nie, Scientist III from our San Diego lab. They delve into LC/MS evolution, tech strides, and its role in large molecule bioanalysis. Discover the benefits of LC/MS for protein and biomarker quantification, different workflows, and the challenges of transitioning from small to large molecules. The experts also spill
insights on internal standards, acceptance criteria, and clever sample pretreatment techniques to conquer signal suppression.

Drs. Shashank Gorityala, Ben Nie, and Amanda Hays talk LC/MS bioanalysis, platforms, matrices, workflows, and regulations.

On this episode of Molecular Moments, Jim McNally, Ph.D., speaks with Adam Stasio, president of SciMed, whose mission is to craft software that frees their clients to do what they do best: advance cutting-edge technology, improve lives, and effect social change. They discuss their shared passion for problem-solving and how the right mindset helps find solutions to new issues that arise.

They talk about the role of data privacy and security with big data and what steps you can take to reconcile and harmonize data. Adam lays out several common problems encountered with large datasets, including inconsistencies, and how to go about solving them. He discusses the value his company provides by breaking down big problems into smaller independent issues and how by moving fast and asking for feedback, his team can deliver a variety of solutions to clients with many different needs in all different stages of the process.

Adam Stasio Talks, Large Data Sets, Breaking Down Problems, and Tech-Driven Solutions

On this episode of Molecular Moments, Chad Briscoe speaks with Dr. David Berkowitz, Director of the Division of Chemistry at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and a Willa Cather Professor of Chemistry at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and co-lead of the Nebraska Drug Discovery & Development Pipeline. David shares how he got his early beginnings in science as an undergrad studying endocrinology at the University of Chicago, going to Switzerland with his Ph.D. advisor to work at a chemistry biology interface, and later attending Yale to understand how to make molecules better. 

Chad and David also discuss the National Strategic Institute in Nebraska and David’s involvement with the program to research medical countermeasures for Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS), the difficulty of testing drugs for prophylaxis treatments, and the importance of getting the most out of the NSF. They reminisce about when David was supportive of Chad’s pursuit of his Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska. David talks about some exciting work he’s doing with enzymes that came about as a result of talking to someone while waiting for a slow elevator, how higher learning has changed over the years, and running the Lincoln Marathon.
