About Rong Diao
Rong Diao is an owner of Omni BioFood and a respected leader in the food and biotechnology industries.

In her role, Diao is responsible for product development and brings extensive expertise in fermentation, protein and peptide biochemistry, and microbiology applications.
One of Diao’s most valuable achievements is her work on an Antibody Purification Method based on the kinetics of affinity binding. This method uses one affinity column to purify antibodies, including those that are traditionally difficult to purify, with high efficiency, high yield recovery of 95–99%, and high purity of more than 95–99%. The process is even suitable for crystallization and has the potential to save the antibody purification industry millions of dollars.
