Biopharma Live from the Lab

Biopharma Live From the Lab 2026 is a hybrid livestream event bringing together scientists, analytical experts, and industry leaders across Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ).

Broadcast live from Korea and connected to satellite locations in India, Indonesia, and Japan, this interactive program explores how advanced analytical workflows support biopharma workflow development, regulatory readiness, and compliant quality control across emerging biomodalities.

What to Expect

• Practical insights into biopharma workflow strategy and regulatory compliance
• Advanced workflows for complex biologics and next-generation QC
• Real-time discussion with Thermo Fisher Scientific application experts
• Regional collaboration across the APJ biopharma community

This is more than a webcast. It is a live scientific exchange designed to address today’s development, scale-up, and regulatory challenges.

Join the conversation. Gain actionable insight. Strengthen your biopharma workflow and QC strategy.

Meet the Experts

• Prof. Jonathan Bones (Principal Investigator, The National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT))

Dr Jonathan Bones received his PhD in Analytical Chemistry from Dublin City University in 2007. He then transitioned to NIBRT, to Professor Pauline M. Rudd’s lab. In 2010, Dr Bones moved to the Barnett Institute of Chemical and Biological Analysis at Northeastern University, Boston, to work with Professor Barry L. Karger. In 2012, he returned to NIBRT, where he currently services as a principal investigator of the NIBRT Characterization and Comparability Laboratory. Dr Bones is also an associate professor for the School of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering at University College Dublin.

• Dr. Sara Carillo (Bioanalytical Research Lead, The National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT))

Dr. Sara Carillo completed her PhD in Chemical Sciences in 2013 at the University of Naples “Federico II” focusing on the structural characterization of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates from Gram-negative bacteria via NMR and mass spectrometry techniques. In 2015 she joined CCL group in NIBRT working on the understanding of the effects of extractables and leachables from single-use bioreactors on CHO cells N-glycome and produced monoclonal antibodies. She is now working in NIBRT as Bioanalytical Research Lead and is mainly interested in the development on new analytical approaches to ensure deeper and easier understanding of biomanufacturing process and biopharmaceuticals structural complexity.

• Xiaoxi Zhang (Application Manager, Pharma & Biopharma, Thermo Fisher Scientific)

Xiaoxi Joined Thermo Fisher Scientific China in 2012. Currently she is Application Manager in Pharma and Biopharma vertical marketing team, Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry Division, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Xiaoxi is managing collaborations with China regulatory authority, biopharma KOLs. She has 10+ publications/orals/posters in biotherapeutic characterization since 2021.
