From this workshop you should expect to learn details of the nature of the amorphous and crystalline state, how formulations influence the freeze drying of proteins and how you can through analytical methodology ( freeze drying microscopy, thermal analysis) arrive at a freeze drying cycle which should deliver a successful freeze dried end product.
Dr Paul Matejtschuk leads a team in the development of formulation and freeze drying processes for the International Standards and other reference materials produced by NIBSC.
He has broad experience across downstream processing including lyophilisation, analytical and preparative chromatography, ultrafiltration, glycan analysis, peptide mapping and protein chemistry.
His most recent experience has been in the biological application of thermal analysis, formulation and lyophilisation of biologicals, high throughput screening methods, application of Design of Experiments (DoE) and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) in freeze drying as well as the measurement of residual water and its impact on the stability of biologics.
