Analytical chemist with over 13 years of experience applying mass spectrometry for protein characterization.
With a knack for puzzle solving, there is no mAb sequence that Kathleen can’t decode. Armed with a team of dedicated, detail-oriented, fried chicken-loving bioinformatics specialists, she ensures that reported sequences are accurate. Whether the canvas is a piece of paper, a computer screen, or focaccia bread, Kathleen enjoys turning her “WILD®” ideas into art.
Marko Jovic, PhD, is the Product Manager for Antibody Kinetics at Rapid Novor. With over 15 years of experience in antibody development, he leads the application of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to accelerate biologics discovery. His background includes leadership roles at the NIH, Nicoya Lifesciences, and startup ventures focused on SPR-based antibody characterization.
Frank studied at the University of Waterloo (‘94, BA, Honours Political Science and Applied Studies – Personnel Studies Specialization) followed by a successful career in Human Resources helping to grow several leading Canadian tech companies. He is happy to have lived in a time when he could see live-action adaptations of LOTR and his favourite Marvel comics on the big screen!
