Manuel Quirós Email and Phone Number

Manuel Quirós is a Cultivation Specialist in Biopharm Api Manufacturing Development at Novo Nordisk. He possess expertise in yeast, metabolic engineering, microbiology, molecular biology, fermentation technology and 12 more skills. He is proficient in Danish. Colleagues describe him as "Manuel is a dedicated and experienced fermentation scientist who is eager to explore new avenues. We worked together in the Stevia project and he kept surprising me with his ability to balance needs of strain engineering and fermentation, the former pushing for strain characterization and the latter for process development. That this always went without clashes is testimony to his pleasant character. He carried out physiological characterization of strains with different genetic backgrounds in bench-top bioreactors with high efficiency and reliability. Often with little time between handover by the strain engineers and start of the actual fermentation. With many unknowns regarding strain physiology, he showed great adaptability and ability to rely on his experience and intuition to set up these fed-batch fermentations. Manuel also introduced important, scalable, changes to the fermentation process of the Stevia strains. For example, by fed-batch feed profile and medium composition optimization. His inputs on strain physiology and performance were key to the project’s strain screening process development efforts. Lastly, Manuel was patient zero for our fermentation data processing tools. He always patiently explained how we could help him out and provided us with invaluable feedback. Without his help these tools could not have been scaled to the cross-project tools they eventually became." and "I have worked with Manuel at Evolva in the fermentation team. Manuel is an easy going, kind person and also a hard working scientist. Designing and setting up fermentation experiments demands a great deal of logistics, people management and collaboration and he is definitely skilled in all of these. He is very dedicated in reaching milestone goals and he is a key person behind Evolva's stevia project. I highly recommend hiring him! "
