Dear colleagues,
Practical Applications of NMR in Industry Conference (PANIC) is a unique meeting that provides ample opportunities to students and postdocs to learn about various applications of NMR in industry, build a network with industrial scientists, pursue academic-industry collaborations and explore career opportunities in industrial NMR.
PANIC will be hosting an online panel discussion featuring an eminent, diverse panel of scientists to answer questions that students and postdocs may have about industrial NMR careers. The list of panelists along with their biographies can be found below. The panel discussion will be held via Zoom on 15th June at 11 AM EST, Boston (5 PM CEST, Paris), please register for the event using the link below. All are welcome to join.

Panelists’ bio:
Dr. Ryan Nieuwendaal received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from WUSTL, USA in 2008. As a Staff Scientist in the Functional Polymers Group at NIST, his research focuses on developing solid state NMR methods for measuring molecular packing and dynamics in soft matter, and relating these properties to material function.
Dr. Anuji Abraham is an Associate Scientific Director and ssNMR Team leader in the Materials Science and Engineering Division in Product Development at Bristol Myers Squibb, New Jersey, USA. She has a Ph.D. from ETH-Zurich, Switzerland. She was a postdoctoral fellow at EPFL, Switzerland, Durham University, UK & WVU, USA.
Dr. Gennady Khirich holds a Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from Yale University. He has been a Technical Development Scientist specializing in NMR spectroscopy within the Small Molecule Process Impurities Group at Genentech for 6.5 years. Here, he developed strong expertise in qNMR and its associated error analysis, in antibody higher-order structure fingerprinting, and in the application of diffusion and relaxation measurements for pharmaceutical analysis. In June 2022 he will be starting as an Associate Principal Scientist in the NMR Structure Elucidation group at Merck.
Dr. Sarah Mattler received her Ph.D. in physical chemistry from WUSTL, USA in 2012, where she studied photoreactions in the solid state using solid-state NMR. She is currently a staff chemist at ExxonMobil Product Solutions as an NMR spectroscopist studying petrochemical products mainly focused on polyolefins. She works with all levels of materials from research to manufacturing support.
Dr. Amber Balazs is an NMR specialist and an Analytical and Structural Chemistry Team Leader at AstraZeneca in Oncology R&D, Chemistry, working on small molecule drug discovery. She started at AZ as a Senior Scientist in 2016, following more than a decade as an NMR Facility Manager helping graduate students and postdocs with solution NMR investigations at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology’s Chemistry Department. She received her Ph.D. in 1999 in Biological Chemistry investigating transmembrane signalling via solid state NMR, under the guidance of Prof. Lynmarie Thompson at UMass Amherst, USA and then did a 2-year postdoc at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel in the group of Prof. Shimon Vega.
