Award recognizes influential work on applied spectroscopy, and
supports the development of infrared quantum cascade laser
applications for biopharma
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced Professor
Bernhard Lendl has been selected to receive a prestigious Agilent
Thought Leader Award. Highly renowned in the field of vibrational
spectroscopy, Dr. Lendl is a professor at the TU Wien (Vienna) and
head of the working group on Process Analysis & Vibrational
Spectroscopy at the institution.
Professor Lendl's work focuses on adapting powerful
spectroscopic techniques and unique combinations of those
techniques to improve methods for examining samples in challenging
environments. The research supported by this award will help
generate important novel applications for the spectroscopic
analysis of pharmaceutically relevant biomolecules in aqueous
environments – a process made particularly difficult for IR
spectroscopy due to strong interference from water.
These new approaches will enable analytical tools that more
easily fit into biochemistry workflows, allowing for rapid
assessment of proteins, viral vectors, and other biomolecules that
show therapeutic promise.
“In recent years, semiconductor-based mid-IR lasers have
developed into reliable sources which can now be used as key
components for building advanced sensors for liquids and gases as
well as for chemical imaging on the micro-and nanoscale. By
exploiting the unique properties of these sources, fundamentally
new sensing schemes can be realized,” said Bernhard Lendl. “For us
at TU Wien it is most exciting to actively contribute to this
technological revolution and to learn that our work has already
attracted the interest of Agilent, as one of the leading analytical
instrumentation companies.”
“We’re pleased to recognize and support Professor Lendl and his
team and their work in the important area of applied vibrational
spectroscopy,” said Phil Binns, vice president, and general manager
of Agilent's Spectroscopy Division. “It will be exciting to see how
the award will help progress the generation of novel new
applications of infrared quantum cascade laser to eliminate current
bottlenecks in biopharma workflows.”
The Agilent Thought Leader Award program promotes fundamental
scientific advances by contributing financial support, products,
and expertise to the research of influential thought leaders in the
life sciences, diagnostics, and chemical analysis space. To learn
