Profile bio

About José Manuel (Manny) Otero

The traditional project leadership and strategy models employed by the largest technology entities for the last 10-20 years are simply not sustainable. Resource and FTE intensive process development are inhibitors of innovation and entrepreneurship. Rather, scientifically-driven process development, technology transfer, and manufacturing that hold robustness, flexibility, cost-efficiency, and speed of execution as core principles will prevail. I want to leverage my existing toolbox and be surrounded by individuals smarter than me that come together and form a world-class, high-risk high-reward team with the simple mission of significantly improving the human condition. I have a passion and ability to motivate large groups of people to accomplish difficult things – this is the corner stone for any technology group aiming to truly innovate. I embrace change management and turnaround situations with a core mission of building, developing and growing high-performing teams.

Listed skills include Biotechnology, Cell Culture, Fermentation, Vaccines, and 23 others.

Principal Consultant

Current

Chicago, Il, Us

I have had the privilege of being a team member of some exceptional bioprocess development and manufacturing teams for complex biopharmaceutical products (Merck & Co.; Seres Therapeutics; and currently, Turnstone Biologics). I have devoted some of my personal time to consulting and advising for research groups/teams that believe excellence in CMC development is critical to accomplishing their mission, including Dr. Eric Pamer at the Duchossois Family Institute DFI at the University of Chicago Medicine. The DFI promotes wellness through groundbreaking science on the immune system, genetics, the microbiome, and their shared environments. The vision is to bring translational capabilities to a state of the art academic center, to go from the research bench to first-in-human clinical investigations, all within the same team and organization, with a sense of urgency and velocity that is unparalleled. We are in the process of designing, building, and enabling a cGMP microbiome manufacturing center -- a best-in-class and in many instances first-in-class capability -- under this unique intersection of academic and clinical research.

Svp, Technical Operations

San Diego, California, Us

Responsible for leading all activities related to bioprocess, analytical, and formulation development, as well as CMC enabling activities related to manufacturing, supply chain, quality control, and long-term strategy. As a member of the Executive Leadership Team, I have the privilege of working with a world-class group of colleagues and scientifically driven leaders that are re-engineering and re-imagining viral immunotherapies. The best part of my role and responsibility is serving as lead 'team-builder', being the very best coach, mentor, and biggest fan I can be of a highly capable group of scientists and engineers in the Technical Operations team. Every day our quest towards becoming a better high-performing team is realized, one accomplishment at a time.Turnstone Biologics, a privately held clinical stage biotech company, is developing breakthrough cancer immunotherapies by advancing two leading and complementary platforms that drive innate and adaptive tumor immunity, to provide benefit to the millions of cancer patients underserved by current treatment options. Turnstone’s proprietary vaccinia virus platform is engineered to drive coordinated immune activation, potent viral activity, and local expression of encoded therapeutics. The innovative TIL cell therapy platform leverages clinically validated treatment protocols and has been specifically designed to extend beyond the use of bulk TILs to enrich for the most relevant T-cells for tumor eradication, preserving broad antigen diversity and minimizing time to treatment for patients. The Company has an ongoing Phase 1/2a trial in solid tumors (RAPTOR) for its leading oncolytic virus candidate, RIVAL-01, and is expecting to file an IND for the lead TIL therapy candidate, TIDAL-01, in 2021.

Phd Student

Department Of Systems Biology, Technical Unviersity Of Denmark

Supervisors: Lisbeth Olsson and Jens NielsenSaccharomyces cerevisiae is a robust expression platform technology for numerous therapeutic agents, value-added and high value-added chemical intermediates. In 2004, based upon a critical analysis to identify the top building blocks that may be produced from biomass and subsequently converted to high-value bio-based chemicals, the US Department of Energy identified succinic acid (C4H2O2(OH)2) as a top ten building block. The objective of this Ph.D. project is to use metabolic engineering to over-produce succinic acid. S.cerevisiae tolerates relatively low pH (4.0-5.50) with minimal impact on biomass growth, permitting direct expression of the associated succinic acid. Furthermore, an integrated metabolic engineering and systems biology approach for directing carbon flux towards C4 organic acids in S.cerevisiae will further elucidate mechanistic understanding of how fluxes in the central carbon metabolism are controlled.
