I’ve been working in the analytical development field at a major pharmaceutical company for the last ten years or so.  Most of that time, I’ve been involved with development of various kinds of potency assays.  I have looked around the internet several times for a resource where people in the bioassay and potency assay community can share ideas and best practices.  I haven’t found such a place yet.  So instead, I thought I would start this blog and share my experiences and ideas about these often difficult assays.

The topics I plan on covering in this space include:

• Bioassays
• Immunoassays
• In vivo potency models
• Assay development practices
• Assay optimization
• Design of Experiments
• Data analysis and statistics for potency assays
• Laboratory Automation
• Six sigma and other process optimization methodologies as they relate to potency assays

I would also like to invite all of you to comment on my posts or write a guest post if you’re an expert on a related topic.  Just leave a comment and I will get in touch with you.

I also want to point out that the opinions that are posted on this blog are strictly my own and are in no way endorsed by or affiliated with my employer.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you come back soon.
