Tackling new challenges in automated biophysical characterization: From high-throughput hit screening, to bioparticle characterization, to kinetics directly on cells

Location: Room 107A, Meeting Level 1

Lab automation technologies are transforming biologics development by streamlining the selection and optimization of candidates. However, the complexity of biologics—often involving intricate structures and binding interactions—presents challenges in optimizing pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety.

In this tutorial, we will not only highlight three advanced automated biophysical tools, but also showcase the all-new iNTA technology for the first time.

You will learn more about:

  • high-throughput, multiplexing Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) for rapid candidate identification and detailed lead development
  • switchSENSE® for analyzing avidity effects, multispecific binders, and protein conformational changes
  • single-cell Interaction Cytometry for real-time kinetic measurements directly on cells to assess native binding properties
  • Interferometric Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (iNTA) for precise sizing and label-free subpopulation differentiation of nanoparticles in native solutions.

These tools offer comprehensive profiling to accelerate biologics development by identifying lead candidates with optimal biophysical characteristics and are also applicable to other therapeutic modalities like small molecules.

Speakers

Rafael Levin
Application Scientist, Bruker Biosensors, Boston, MA, USA

Rafael Levin ("Rafa") is working as Application Scientist at Bruker Biosensors, applying and supporting the molecular interaction technologies Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), switchSENSE®, and single-cell interaction cytometry (scIC). Rafa brings extensive expertise in the biophysical tool space, having studied diverse protein-protein interactions in human disease and immunology throughout his time in graduate school and industry. 

Sven Malik
Business Development Manager, Bruker Biosensors, Hamburg, Germany

Sven studied Bioprocess Engineering at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany and graduated in 2012. During his diploma studies he investigated the interaction of cytomegalovirus protein pp65 against certain antibodies using Surface Plasmon Resonance. In 2012 he joined Sierra Sensors GmbH to start his role as application specialist. After 6 years he became senior application specialist as Bruker acquired Sierra Sensors GmbH. Currently he is the Business Development Manager for SPR within the Bruker Biosensors Team.

Martin Blessing
Product Manager, Bruker Optics, Erlangen, Germany

Martin Blessing is a trained biophysicist and co-inventor of interferometric nanoparticle analysis (iNTA) technology, for which he was awarded the Leibinger Innovation Prize in 2025. Before joining Bruker Optics as Scientific Business Development Manager, he worked under Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany.
