Spectroscopy plays a vital role in the biopharmaceutical industry, acting as a powerful lens through which scientists and manufacturers can analyze and understand complex biological molecules and processes. From ensuring the identity and purity of raw materials to monitoring critical quality attributes during drug development and manufacturing, spectroscopic techniques provide crucial insights. This blog series will delve into the diverse applications of spectroscopy in biopharma, exploring how methods like Fluorescence, Particle Characterization, and Raman contribute to the creation of safe and effective therapeutics.
Carbometrics, a University of Bristol spin‑out now backed by Novo Nordisk, has created a molecule that actually *likes* glucose. It’s a chemical “glove” so precise it can spot sugar in your bloodstream faster than you can unwrap a candy bar—and it could mean the end of daily needle jabs forever.
Imagine tiny detectives inside your body, armed with flashlights, searching for clues to disease. Or picture a world where your phone screen is illuminated by eco-friendly, rainbow-bright materials. These are just some of the possibilities being explored by Dr. Lars-Olof Pålsson…
