This two-part seminar examines the complete arc of laboratory automation—from its deep historical roots in clinical chemistry through commercial systems to the modern Do-It-Yourself approach. The first lecture examines the historical foundations of analytical chemistry applications and the compelling needs that drove the development of the automation in the laboratories. The second lecture demonstrates how open hardware and digital fabrication now enable chemists to create precision instruments custom-tailored to specific research requirements.

Glycomics is a scientific discipline, which is focused on the exploration, characterization and study all of the carbohydrate structures. For this end, capillary electrophoresis (CE) is one of the most frequently used techniques, having outstanding advantages over liquid chromatography as ultra-high resolution and very low amount of sample need, among others. In this presentation, we will discuss the theoretical basics as practical aspects, with special attention on the CE based N-glycan structure elucidation. We will also shed light on how CE based glycomics can be used for biomarker research as well on its role in the characterization of biologics and biosimilars.

Felicia obtained her PhD at the University of Pannonia, where her doctoral research focused on developing novel methods for the separation and fluorescent labeling of therapeutic proteins. She is currently a research fellow at the University of Pannonia where she continues to work extensively with capillary electrophoresis for the analysis and characterization of glycoproteins. She gained international research experience at Seoul National University in South Korea, where she worked on the development of analytical methods for protein separation.
