President, Biotechnology Information Institute
Mr. Ronald A. Rader has been President of his own publishing/consulting company, the Biotechnology Information Institute, since late 1990. Mr. Rader has a B.S. (Microbiology), M.L.S. (Library/Info. Sci.), and over 30 years experience as a biotechnology/pharmaceutical information specialist, author, publisher and consultant.
Although currently primarily a consultant, Mr. Rader is best known as the author/publisher of BIOPHARMA: Biopharmaceutical Products in the U.S. and European Markets, the only information resource/reference concerning biopharmaceuticals. He soon will be launching the most extensive biosimilars/biobetters development pipeline database. He is also the author of the only directory of expression systems/genetic engineering technologies, and the developer of the Top 1000 Global Biopharmaceutical Facilities Index.
Regional Director, North America SynTech Research, Inc.
Scott Lovell, Ph.D. has 19 years of experience in the field of X-ray crystallography for both small molecules and proteins. He received his B.S. from the University of Nebraska-Omaha in chemistry, Ph.D. from Purdue University in organic and held a post-doctoral position at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the area of protein crystallography. Following his post-doctoral work, he was hired by deCODE Biostructures (aka Emerald Biostructures) to setup and manage a crystallography group at the deCODE Chemistry site in the Chicago, IL area. His laboratory supported internal and external client drug development projects which included Fragment Based Drug Design (FBDD) projects.
Dr. Lovell currently serves as the Director of the Univeristy of Kansas Protein Structure Laboratory (PSL) and collaborates with a diverse range of investigators at various academic and industrial institutions in Kansas and surrounding areas to obtain structural information for a variety of proteins using X-ray crystallography. He has extensive experience in all aspects of structure determination from construct design, cloning, expression/purification methods, crystallization, X-ray data collection and structure solution/analysis. He is an author on over 70 peer-reviewed publications.
