Lynn Kamen is a Scientific Officer at BioAgilytix. She earned her PhD in Immunology at the University of Michigan and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in immunology at the University of California, San Francisco. Lynn has over a decade of experience working in drug development, from early target discovery through clinical development for both large and small molecules at several companies including Portola Pharmaceuticals, and Alector. More recently, Lynn was a principal scientist at Genentech where she supported the in vitro biological characterization of large molecules and lead the development of immunogenicity assays including ADA, NAb and immunogenicity risk ranking assays. She is co-lead of the AAPS NAber working group and member of the AAPS NAb drug tolerance sub-team.

Dr. McNally has an extensive background in bioanalytical assay development and program leadership spanning nearly 20 years working in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Prior to joining BioAgilytix, Dr. McNally was Executive Director at CRISPR Therapeutics, where he lead a team of scientists to develop a portfolio of assays to support development of gene-based therapeutic candidates throughout their lifecycle. He has also previously held roles at Genzyme, Pfizer, EMD Serono, and Shire which have given him broad experience in the development of large molecule, gene therapy, and cell therapy biotherapeutics. Dr. McNally is a recognized thought leader in the development and application of bioanalytical methods used in regulatory submissions and is specifically skilled in progression of biotherapeutics from research through clinical development. He has a special interest in the immunogenicity of biotherapeutics and leads an industry-wide working group to address this issue. A key part of his role at BioAgilytix is advising on emerging scientific developments and providing scientific and regulatory guidance. Dr. McNally obtained his B.S. in Biology from Mississippi State University, his Ph.D. Viral Immunology from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport, and his Post-Doc in Viral Immunology from University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Weifeng has been in the field of immunogenicity for biologics for about 10 years. He had developed cell-based neutralization Ab assays for multiple key product at BMS including Opdivo and Yervoy. He is an active member in AAPS NAb work group as well as EBA NAb team; he is also co-leading the NAb assay drug tolerance subteam at AAPS. After join Merck at the end of 2018, Weifeng is now leading Cell Assay group within PPDM Regulated Immunogenicity to develop neutralizing assays for both biologics and vaccines.

Dr. Kavitha Akula is currently a Principal Scientist at Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) in the Non-clinical Disposition and Bioanalysis Group. Kavitha joined BMS in 2019 as Research Investigator-II with about five years of experience in regulated bioanalysis from different contract research organizations (CRO). She received her PhD from Temple University, Philadelphia in Organic Chemistry in 2017. Kavitha has extensive experience in regulate bioanalysis of large molecule drugs and new treatment modalities in support of PK and Immunogenicity. She recently took co-lead position in the Early Career Bioanalytical Scientists (ECBS) sub-team in AAPS.

Dr. Ang Liu is currently a Director of Clinical Bioanalysis in the department of Quantitative Clinical Pharmacology at Daiichi Sankyo. Prior to joining Daiichi Sankyo in July, 2021, Ang was a Senior Principal Scientist in the Department of Bioanalytical Sciences at Bristol-Myers Squibb.
