Dr. Manveen K Sethi serves as Instructor of Biochemistry at the Boston University School of Medicine, USA. She did her Ph.D. at Macquarie University (MQ), Australia, under the primary supervision of Dr. Morten Thaysen-Andersen,where she utilized mass spectrometry proteomics and glycomics analysis to understand underlying molecular mechanisms in colorectal cancer . After her Ph.D., she joined Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), USA, as a postdoctoral associate under Prof. Joseph Zaia, where she is currently employed in a research faculty-track position of Instructor. Her research work involves identifying and characterizing biomolecules such as proteins and glycans using mass spectrometry techniques and utilizing this information to understand biomolecular deregulation in human diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Recently, she received a Bright Focus Foundation fellowship award to investigate extracellular matrix changes in Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr. Manveen K Sethi’s interview with Bio Patrika hosting “Vigyan Patrika”, a series of author interviews. Dr. Sethi serves as Instructor of Biochemistry at the Boston University School of Medicine, USA. She did her Ph.D. at Macquarie University (MQ), Australia, under the primary supervision of Dr. Morten Thaysen-Andersen, an internationally recognized researcher in Glycobiology. During her Ph.D., she forayed into colorectal cancer (CRC) research. After her Ph.D., she was offered a postdoctoral research fellowship at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), USA, under Prof. Joseph Zaia, an internationally-acclaimed leader in mass spectrometry (MS) and Glycoscience, where she is currently employed in a research faculty-track position of Instructor. Her research work involves identifying and characterizing biomolecules such as proteins and glycans using mass spectrometry techniques and utilizing this information to understand biomolecular deregulation in human diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Here, Manveen talks about her work titled “Serial in-solution digestion protocol for mass spectrometry-based glycomics and proteomics analysis” published as a first author in Molecular Omics (2020).
Bio Patrika interviews Dr. Joshi on her thoughts about “Orthogonal tools for analytical biosimilarity assessment of biotherapeutics”
Dr. Srishti Joshi’s interview with Bio Patrika hosting “Vigyan Patrika”, a series of author interviews. Dr. Joshi completed her PhD in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from Massey University, NZ in 2015. After a brief Post Doc experience at the Systems Biology lab at Korea University, she joined DBT-COE-CBT (IIT-Delhi) in 2017 an Institute Post Doctoral Fellow in the lab of Prof. Anurag Rathore at the Centre of Excellence, Biopharmaceutical Technology (DBT-COE-CBT), Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. She has been learning and exploring the domain of Analytics in Biotherapeutics, since. She published papers titled “An application of Nano Differential Scanning Fluorimetry for Higher Order Structure assessment between mAb originator and biosimilars: Trastuzumab and Rituximab as case studies” and “Monitoring size and oligomeric-state distribution of therapeutic mAbs by NMR and DLS: Trastuzumab as a case study” as first author in Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis (2020).
