THE PANEL


STEPHANIE CAPE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF BIOANALYTICAL SCIENTIFIC OPERATIONS COVANCE


Stephanie Cape, PhD, is the Associate Director of Bioanalytical Scientific Operations at Covance, Madison, WI.


She received her B.S. in Chemistry from University of IL- Urbana/Champaign in 2003 and her PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin- Madison in 2007. Dr. Cape’s graduate research was focused on developing high resolution mass spectrometric methods to enable discovery, characterization, imaging, and quantitation of neuropeptides.


Dr. Cape joined the field of regulated Bioanalysis as a method development /


validation chemist initially at PPD and subsequently at Covance. Within the Covance Bioanalytical team, she has held a variety of leadership roles including oversight of bioanalytical study direction, validation, and method development. Additionally, Dr. Cape serves as the primary operational lead for on-site regulatory inspections and participates in aligning global SOPs and best practices to industry standards.


SURINDER KAUR ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR/SENIOR SCIENTIST IN BIOANALYTICAL SCIENCES GENENTECH/ROCHE


Dr. Surinder Kaur is an Associate Director/Senior Scientist in BioAnalytical Sciences at Genentech/Roche in South San Francisco, California. She has twenty plus years of biotechnology experience across diverse large molecule and small molecule bioanalytical areas, with multiple successful regulatory filings, publications and patents. She received her B. Sc. in Chemistry from Durham University, England and a Ph. D. from the Chemistry Department at Bristol University, England. Dr. Kaur conducted post-doctoral research at the University of California, San Francisco in the laboratory of Al. Burlingame.


Dr. Kaur established the mass spectrometry core laboratory at Chiron Corporation to


develop analytical methods for biotherapeutic process development and small molecule drug research. In 2001 she joined Lumicyte Inc. as a Proteomics Director, developing mass spectrometry biochip methods for biomarker discovery. She joined Genentech, Inc. in 2004 to establish a multi-disciplinary immunoassay and mass spectrometry group of approximately fifteen scientists and research associates responsible for the bioanalysis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) through nonclinical and clinical development. Dr. Kaur’s group is responsible for bioanalytical strategies and assay development/validataion for ADCs, including pharmacokinetic assays, immunogenicty assessment, in vitro biological characterization and metabolism/ catabolism strategies. She is also responsible for a mass spectrometry core facility establishing innovative approaches for biotherapeutics development and is a Pharmacology team leader for an oncology program.
