Research summary
AI-generated

Elizabeth M. Topp studies how protein and RNA-based drugs (like antibodies, therapeutic proteins, and mRNA) behave and degrade in different storage forms, such as freeze-dried or spray-dried solids and solutions. Her work uses techniques like hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to understand and improve the stability of these biologic drug formulations, which is important for developing effective and long-lasting medicines. This research sits at the intersection of pharmaceutical science, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry.
