Biophysical Characterization Workshop
A 2-Day Hands-On Scientific Event for Industry & Academia
& 
Hosted by NanoTemper Technologies in partnership with The Fisher Drug Discovery Resource Center at The Rockefeller University
June 2–3, 2026
The Fisher Drug Discovery Resource Center
The Rockefeller University
1230 York Avenue, New York, NY 10065
Parallel Workshop Tracks (Space limited to 10 attendees per track)
-
Track A: Biologics Stability Workshop with Prometheus™ Panta
Explore protein thermal and colloidal stability characterization. Learn how Prometheus Panta simultaneously measures nanoDSF™, DLS, SLS, and backreflection to support formulation development, candidate selection, and stability screening with minimal sample consumption and maximum data confidence.
-
Track B: Binding Affinity Workshop with Monolith & Dianthus
Dive into solution-based binding affinity measurements. Discover how Monolith Spectral shift & TRIC technology enables Kd determination with minimal sample consumption, and how Dianthus with Spectral Shift & TRIC unlocks hit validation and lead optimization for challenging binding interactions that are difficult to characterize with conventional methods.

About the Fisher Drug Discovery Resource Center
The Fisher Drug Discovery Resource Center (DDRC) at The Rockefeller University is one of the foremost academic facilities for early-stage drug discovery in the United States. Established in 2003 and operating on an open-access model, the DDRC provides Rockefeller researchers and collaborators with access to a diverse collection of over 635,000 drug-like compounds, cutting-edge laboratory automation, and state-of-the-art bioassay technologies.
The Center has been directed since 2008 by Dr. J. Fraser Glickman, PhD, a Research Associate Professor and accomplished scientist with over three decades of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. Under Dr. Glickman’s leadership, the DDRC bridges the gap between basic academic research and therapeutic development — working closely with investigators to design and validate novel assays, deploy high-throughput screening strategies, and identify lead compounds with real therapeutic potential. The Center’s mission is rooted in the principle that rigorous, technology-driven science is essential to accelerating the discovery of new medicines, making it an ideal partner for this collaborative workshop with NanoTemper Technologies.
