Featured Speaker: Laurie Stephen, PhD, President, Ampersand Biosciences
Laurie Stephen, PhD launched Ampersand Biosciences in 2015 to serve the unmet need of multiplex assay development and validated Luminex kits. Ampersand is the second company she founded—in 2005, she launched Multiplex Biosciences to provide custom multiplex services. After Multiplex Biosciences was acquired by Rules Based Medicine (Myriad RBM), she worked at Myriad RBM for several years overseeing the development of new biomarker assays and multiplex kits. Dr. Stephen began her career working for Upstate Biotechnology, where her group released the first commercial Luminex cytokine kit on the market. She has been the principle investigator on several grants and has authored numerous papers on multiplex assay development and validation. Dr. Stephen received her PhD from the University of Guelph and her BS and MS from McGill University, and did post-doctorate work with the University of Toronto.
