Tracey Schock, Jonathan Mosley, Chris Beecher, Warwick Dunn, Julia Kuligowski, Matthew Lewis, Georgios Theodoridis, Candice Ulmer, Dajana Vuckovic, Ian Wilson, Krista Zanetti
Background: Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) practices are key tenets that facilitate study and data quality across all applications of untargeted metabolomics. Such important practices will strengthen this field and accelerate its success

Quantification of mRNA in Lipid Nanoparticles Using Mass Spectrometry

December 26, 2023
Author(s)
Mark Lowenthal, Abigail Antonishek, Karen W. Phinney
Lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated messenger RNA (LNP-mRNA) holds great promise as a novel modality for treating a broad range of diseases. The ability to quantify mRNA accurately in therapeutic products helps to ensure consistency and safety. Here we

Cybersecurity of Genomic Data

Ronald Pulivarti, Natalia Martin, Frederick R. Byers, Justin Wagner, Justin Zook, Samantha Maragh, Jennifer McDaniel, Kevin Wilson, Martin Wojtyniak, Brett Kreider, Ann-Marie France, Sallie Edwards, Tommy Morris, Jared Sheldon, Scott Ross, Phillip Whitlow
Genomic data has enabled the rapid growth of the U.S. bioeconomy and is valuable to the individual, industry, and government because it has multiple intrinsic properties that in combination make it different from other types of high value data which

An investigation into an approach for automated supply chain onboarding

November 21, 2023
Author(s)
Elena Jelisic, Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Perawit Charoenwut, Ana Nikolov
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the cold chain for bio-pharmaceutical products to the spotlight. To preserve their structure and function, biopharmaceuticals such as cells, proteins and enzymes, RNA molecules, and RNA-based drugs (e.g., mRNA-based COVID

Monitoring Spectrometer Drift with Unsupervised Machine Learning

November 20, 2023
Author(s)
Benjamin Harding, Ziling Hu, Ashley Hiett, Frank Delaglio, Katherine Henzler- Wildman, Chad Rienstra
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy (SSNMR) is a powerful technique to probe structural and dynamic properties of molecules at an atomic level. Modern SSNMR methods employ multidimensional pulse sequences requiring data collection over a period of days to weeks

Metabolomics 2022 Workshop Report: State of QA/QC Best Practices in LC-MS-Based Untargeted Metabolomics, Informed Through mQACC Community Engagement Initiatives

November 8, 2023
Author(s)
Tracey Schock, Warwick Dunn, Julia Kuligowski, Jonathan Mosley, Candice Ulmer Holland, Dajana Vuckovic
Introduction: The Metabolomics Quality Assurance and Quality Control Consortium (mQACC) organized a workshop during the Metabolomics 2022 conference. Objectives: The goal of the workshop was to disseminate recent findings from mQACC community-engagement

Activation loop plasticity and active site coupling in the MAP kinase, ERK2

October 6, 2023
Author(s)
Laurel Pegram, Demian Riccardi, NATALIE AHN
Previous studies of the protein kinase, ERK2, using NMR and hydrogen-exchange measurements have shown changes in dynamics accompanying its activation by phosphorylation. However, knowledge about the conformational motions involved is incomplete. Here, we

Towards Ontologizing a Digital Twin Framework for Manufacturing

September 21, 2023
Author(s)
Milos Drobnjakovic, Guodong Shao, Ana Nikolov, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Simon P. Frechette, Vijay Srinivasan
This paper presents a timely opportunity to ontologize a digital twin frame-work for manufacturing using recently published international standards and proposes a collaborative research effort to accomplish this task. The ISO/IEC 21838 series of standards
