Yasmina Abdiche
Dr Abdiche is a Research Fellow at Pfizer’s biotherapeutic site in South San Francisco, California, formerly Rinat Neuroscience, which she joined in 2004. She leads the Biosensor Group within Protein Engineering that supports multiple projects at all stages of research using complementary label-based and label-free technologies to characterize antigen/antibody interactions. Prior to joining Rinat-Pfizer, she completed post-doctoral research studies in Professor David Myszka’s laboratory at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City. During that time, she focused on optimizing methods to characterize the interactions of small molecules with proteins and lipids using Biacore and comparing these results to solution methods. She played a role in establishing carbonic anhydrase as a benchmark model system in the biosensor community. She graduated from Oxford University, UK with a PhD in Biological Chemistry and a Masters degree in Chemistry. Dr Abdiche has published several papers on the use of biosensors in drug discovery.
