David Michels was selected by the CE Pharm Organizing Committee for his many accomplishments in the capillary electrophoresis community. David has demonstrated a consistent ability to stay ahead of the curve and effectively adopt innovations in the realm of biopharmaceutical analysis. Notably, he has been an innovator in the field of fluorescent detection in CE-SDS. Additionally, David has been an early adopter of DoE and AQbD principles.

The CE Pharm Symposium provides an interactive forum for the discussion of CE in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, including regulatory considerations. The Symposium also provides a venue for industrial CE practitioners to meet, network, and exchange knowledge for mutual education. This year’s meeting was held in person on September 24-27, 2023 in Philadelphia, PA.

His dedication and expertise became evident early in his career when he made his debut at CE Pharm in 2008. Since then, his involvement with the CE Pharm community has only deepened, with significant contributions such as chairing the conference in 2017 and 2018, and playing a leadership role in developing the conference agenda. Furthermore, David's impact extends beyond his own presentations; he is also a mentor to aspiring scientists at Genentech, ensuring that his knowledge and passion for CE are perpetuated within the industry. The CE Pharm community has consistently reaped the rewards of his insights, making David an integral figure in the field of capillary electrophoresis.
