Graduate Research Associate at The Ohio State University

Speaker

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Sabat earned his degree in animal science and pre-veterinary medicine with a minor in biochemistry from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. His research experience encompasses food biotechnology, DNA genotyping, protein structure modeling, and bioprocess development. In early 2018, he joined CDI-Lab’s Proteomics Division in Mayaguez, working full-time on monoclonal antibody validation for commercial services and in-house production. Later that year, he began his PhD in Biochemistry at Ohio State University, joining Dr. David Wood’s Applied Protein Engineering Laboratory. In 2019, Sabat was awarded the NIH Molecular Biophysics Training Program Fellowship. In 2022, he received the German Academic Exchange Program scholarship to conduct research at the Institute for Bioprocess and Analysis Techniques (IBA) in Thüringen, Germany. He is currently finalizing his thesis, scheduled for graduation in Spring 2025, which focuses on protein engineering, biophysical characterization, biochemical validation assays, and protein purification technology development.
