Developing scalable, sustainable, and more cost-effective manufacturing processes for oligonucleotides at the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC).

Livingston, West Lothian, United Kingdom

Technical lead and project manager of a capacity increase and lead time reduction project.Involves:• developing a new GMP process• leading implementation into a regulated medical device manufacturing process. Role requires experience in • process design, • equipment evaluation,• project management.Results to date include:• Designing and developing a new GMP process which will significantly reduce batch time.• Taking the project through Gate 0 and Gate 1 meeting framework for ISO 13485/9001 (medical device QMS).• Organising and holding FMEAs with a cross-departmental team.• Supervising R&D assistants in carrying out lab scale feasibility trials. Results were used to pass Gate 0.• Organising and attending pilot plant trials in Germany and Switzerland. Results were used to gain investment in major plant equipment.• Performing and organising validation work.• Implementing a statistical control method to resolve a critical raw material issue at Hyaltech. With consideration to measurement error, the macro-enabled spreadsheet optimises the blend of a formulation. The result of the control is a faster, safer and more consistent process.

Runcorn, United Kingdom

Developed and implemented continuous flow reactor technology. • Project managed a pilot plant feasibility study for a leading gelatin manufacturer. Success of the project lead to a full production plant process being quoted.• Followed a rational approach to design by simulating and experimentally validating reactor models which were used to optimise reactor design and feasibility studies for clients.• Designed continuous processes for dozens of internal and customer projects to a professional standard. Required use of Excel, 2D Solidworks and in depth knowledge of many technologies; reactors, pumps, heat exchangers etc.

This was a 6 month industrial project with AM Technology as part of my final year studying chemical engineering at the University of Edinburgh. I functioned in a diverse multi-disciplined team, solving many complex challenges. Technical skills obtained include planning of projects, analysing data, and physically maintaining chemical reactors. Planning of projects required me to practise health and safety by performing risk assessments and contributing in HAZOP meetings. I gained experience drawing P&IDs, working closely with Mechanical Engineers to implement them.Analysing data involved complex energy balance and residence time distribution calculations using Microsoft Excel. Sources of errors were identified and approximated with further calculations. Results were presented at monthly business meetings to all staff at AM Technology.In overall terms, the industrial project had three elements:1. A comprehensive literature review2. A substantial project involving independent analysis of a problem. I was given a large degree of responsibility for defining the scope and conduct of the project as well as actually doing the work in an industry setting of approximately six months duration3. Presentation of the work in form of a poster presentation and a reportThe industrial project achieved an overall grade of over 80%, a feat. only two others in the class managed.
