Employee of the Year


SCOTT CROWDER, BIO-RAD

Nominations for this award were made by antibody companies themselves, for their employees. Our judges were really impressed by the dedication and commitment described - and as a result the employee who has made the biggest contribution to the sector in 2014 has been named as Scott Crowder of Bio-Rad Laboratories.

Congratulations to Scott, who was nominated for developing a pioneering solution to a key business need.

Bio-Rad heavily relies on the quality of the antibodies it uses in order to successfully manufacture superior and high valued products. Finding antibodies that are reliable and consistent is key, and Scott Crowder and his team have pioneered a screening algorithm that helps Bio-Rad ensure that it finds the highest quality antibodies for western blotting.

Scott and his team have worked tirelessly to build a process that is robust to support Bio-Rad’s product development. As a result, the company is able to provide high quality western antibodies to researchers everywhere, and more staff time can be spent on discovery rather than troubleshooting failed experiments.

Andrew Chalmers, founder of CiteAb, said: "In a fast-paced and competitive sector, attracting the very best employees is essential. Congratulations to Scott and his team for their dedication and hard work, which has resulted in clear benefits for Bio-Rad and the development of a brand new approach to a core business problem."
