Speaker Profiles Andreas Arnell Lead Scientist, Lonza Andreas is a Lead Scientist in Bioinformatics at Lonza’s Applied Protein Services department. His work focusses on pre-clinical risk assessment and risk mitigation of biotherapeutics by analysing immunogenicity, stability and aggregation propensity. During his 8-years as a protein engineer at Lonza, his experiences include antibody humanisation, deimmunisation, Fc-fusions, scFv’s, ADC’s, focussed library design and linker design.
Andreas has an MSc in Bioengineering from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Jim Huntington Professor of Molecular Haemostasis, Cambridge Institute for Medical Research and Entrepreneur
Jim Huntington graduated in 1989 from the University of Kansas with bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and mathematics. While an undergraduate, he worked as a research assistant in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department and at the Merck subsidiary InterX under Takeru Higuchi, Ooi Wong and Jose Alexander. His research focussed on chemical synthesis and testing of prodrugs and prodrug-like enhancers of skin permeability. After graduating, he was employed as a chemist at Alza Corporation in California for three years evaluating compounds that enhanced the electrotransport of drugs across the skin. He obtained a PhD from Vanderbilt University in 1997 for work on the biophysical characterisation of members of the serpin family of proteins with Peter Gettins. His research on the serpins continued during his postdoc with Robin Carrell at the University of Cambridge, where he used X-ray crystallography to determine the mechanisms of serpin function. He was appointed principal investigator at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research in 1999, University Reader in 2007 and Professor in 2011. His research focuses on serpin function and dysfunction, and on the regulation of blood coagulation. He has founded four biotech companies, including XO1 (recently acquired by Janssen Pharmaceuticals), Serpin Haemostatics, Z Factor and Cambridge Protein Works.
