    Please join this Open Scientific Discussion (OSD) hosted by the AAPS Biopharmaceutical Product Attributes and Biological Consequences (BPABC) Community on Tuesday, 26 March 2024, 12 PM – 1 PM US EST on:  

    Recent Advances in Combining AI & Microscopy to Analyze and Monitor Biologics:  Applications to Protein and Cell-Based Therapeutics

    Speaker / Discussion Leader: Chris Calderon, Ph.D. (Ursa Analytics, Inc., Denver CO and Associate Research Professor, Univ. of Colorado, Boulder)

    Brief Description:

    The last decade has experienced explosive technological innovation in image and text analysis due in large part to developments in neural network algorithms and advances in graphics processor unit (GPU) hardware technology.  In this talk, we will focus on methods for using data-driven image analysis to analyze subvisible particles in biologic drug products. Historically, practitioners and regulators have depended on sub-optimal human-defined features (such as aspect ratio, average pixel intensity, etc.) to characterize subvisible drug particle images.  However, modern neural networks allow product specific data-driven attributes to be extracted from images characterizing biologic drug products in a high-throughput fashion. 

    This talk will discuss: 

    • new methods for characterizing biologic drugs in formulation development (providing insights into the primary mechanism of particle formation) and in process monitoring. 
    • how recent advances in supervised and unsupervised machine learning representation learning can be used to characterize cell-based medicinal products (CBMPs) in a "label-free" (i.e., stain-free and non-perturbative) fashion.

    We look forward to your participation in a lively discussion on this topic!

    Looking forward to the OSD! 

    One question in advance - could the methods being discussed also apply to characterization and QC of nanoparticles, such as RNA-LNPs? Are there any specific technical challenges for applications to nanoparticles?

    Hello Suman,

    Do you have the recording of the session by Chris Calderon, PhD. If so would you be able to upload on the community page or somewhere accessible?

    Thanks

    Hello Asif,

    Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, we did not record the session. You can find a written summary of the talk - amongst others - in our library.

    Best wishes,

    Michaela
