Description

My name is Valegh FAID, 47 years old, expert in biomolecule analytical sciences. Doctor of Science, I specialize in the characterization of therapeutic biomolecules by mass spectrometry (MS). With over twenty years of experience, I have developed in-depth and recognized expertise in advanced analytical methods (MS, liquid chromatography, and optical spectroscopy) applied to therapeutic proteins and glycoproteins, particularly monoclonal antibodies and coagulation factors. These skills have been notably valued by the publication of about twenty scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals. I support biotechnology stakeholders through consulting, training, and methodological development missions in the analytical characterization of complex biomolecules.

• LC techniques for micro-analysis and micro-scale purification of carbohydrates and proteins, using mostly all types of selectivities (reversed-phase, HILIC, size exclusion, ion-exchange, affinity) and formats (preparative-to-analytical HPLC, UHPLC, narrowbore to micro/nanoLC), hyphenated or not with MS
• LC/MS and MS techniques using different MS instruments : ESI-q/TOF MS +/- Ion-Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) (e.g. SynaptTM G2S, WatersTM), nanoESI-LTQ MSn and LTQ/OrbitrapTM MS (/MS) (Thermofisher ScientificTM), MALDI-TOF (/TOF) MS (/MS) (UltraflextremeTM, BrukerTM)
