Title of the Thesis:  鈥淒evelopment of a Method to Improve Host Cell Protein Identification in Biotherapeutics Using a Spiked-in Carrier Proteome鈥�

Purification of recombinant protein-based biotherapeutics is monitored for contamination by host cell proteins (HCPs). The current method is the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), which is limited by the inability to identify HCPs individually. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based proteomics methods are desired to identify HCPs in biotherapeutic formulations. However, LCMS-based HCP analysis is hindered by a high background of recombinant protein amidst the HCPs of interest. Isobaric tags such as Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) have recently been used to develop the carrier proteome approach, where an isobaric mass-tagged proteome of interest is spiked into a sample to increase peptide identifications for low abundance proteins of the same proteome.

In this thesis, I investigated whether a TMT labelled carrier proteome could be used to improve the identification of HCPs by LC-MS-based proteomics. To do this, TMT-tagged E. coli peptides as an HCP model were spiked into alternatively labelled recombinant bovine serum albumin (BSA) peptides as a mock therapeutic. While the assay increased the identification of HCPs, co-isolated (isobarically-tagged) peptide ions from BSA interfered with the E. coli detection. To alleviate this, an additional spike-in of TMT-labelled BSA allowed the filtering of spectra with interfering ions from the analysis and confident E. coli peptide detection. The method represents a novel strategy for detecting HCPs in the biotherapeutics industry.

To celebrate National Indigenous History Month, here鈥檚 a tip for instructors to incorporate Indigenous knowledge into their classroom.

Teaching Tip #1: Embrace Two-Eyed Seeing (Etuaptmumk) 

What it is: 
A concept introduced by Mi'kmaq Elders Albert and Murdena Marshall, Two-Eyed Seeing encourages viewing the world through both Indigenous and Western perspectives, integrating the strengths of each.  

How to apply it: 

• Incorporate Indigenous perspectives alongside Western viewpoints in your course content
• Invite Indigenous Elders or Knowledge Keepers to share their insights with your class
• Encourage students to reflect on how different worldviews can complement each other 

Reflective question: 
How can integrating both Indigenous and Western perspectives enhance students' understanding of the subject matter?

13 department and faculty hosts. 17 different soups, with a few repeats. By our best count, over 3100 bowls served!  What a 10th year!  Thank you!

Plans are underway for year 11 when we hope to offer bi-weekly Soup for the Soul at the Chaplaincy Centre. Hosts are asked to choose recipes with some help provided, shop and chop one day, then cook and serve the next day. Hosts who finance their events are appreciated but we have limited funding available.  

Quick! Consider this invitation with the same momentum as bidding to host the Olympics or World Cup event. Check your calendars and email sukidd@upei.ca to book your date. 

The CRC-Application Review Committee invites campus community members to attend a research seminar by Dr. Devra Waldman, candidate for the Tier II Canada Research Chair in Equity in Nutrition, Physical Activity, or Health. Dr. Waldman will describe what her research program at 糖心vlog官方入口 may look like in the context of her past research.

Dr. Waldman has a PhD in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia (2020) and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sport Management at Florida State University. Dr. Waldman's research program is comprised of three lines of socio-cultural inquiry in sport, physical culture, and health: 1) the local and global postcolonial politics and implications of sport and health focused 'new city' developments in the Global South; 2) sport, international development, and gendered/racialized inequalities; and 3) global ethnography as a qualitative research methodology, relations of power in research settings, and the politics of knowledge production. These three lines of inquiry come together to address questions about how colonialism shape sport-led urban and regional land development, the politics of inclusion/exclusion in urban planning, and sustainable community development in the Global South.

Research seminar: 

• Date/Time: Thursday, June 12, 2025, 9:45 - 10:30 am
• Location: Health Sciences Building 104
• Teams

The research seminar will also be recorded and available after the session. Those interested in the recording may contact mlsteele@upei.ca.

The Healthy Campus Committee will be hosting a Mandala Painting session on Tuesday, June 24 from 12:00-1:00 pm.
