AB SCIEX and the University of Melbourne Partner to Develop Breakthrough Approach to Drug Metabolism Studies of Biopharmaceuticals

FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AB SCIEX, a global leader in life science analytical technologies, and the University of Melbourne today announced a joint technology development project to improve drug metabolism studies of biopharmaceuticals. This project is focused on developing a standardized testing methodology based on a breakthrough approach that scientists at the University of Melbourne pioneered on the AB SCIEX QTRAP® 5500 System as the life science industry’s first way to follow the fate of the breakdown of protein-based drugs in vivo. This approach could help drug discovery scientists better determine the effectiveness and safety of peptide and protein therapeutic agents that are advanced through regulatory processes and ultimately sold on the consumer market.
