ISPE stands for International Society of Life Science Professionals and has historically been a society for pharmaceutical engineers. However, the UC Davis chapter of ISPE caters to all majors but has an emphasis on the life science industry.
We would like to thank our two recent speakers for taking the time to come talk to us about their profession within industry.

Dr. Baez is currently a senior scientist at Fibrogen. While working with Monsanto, he discovered the use
of plants (corn) in drug development. In his talk, Dr. Baez introduced the current progress of antibody research,
while also discussing the challenges of using plants versus other methods such as E.Coli and the current trend of mammalian cells.
