• Led on-floor operations for key downstream purification & filtration unit operations for proteins (mABs and bispecific antibodies), plasmid DNA, and viral vector GMP batches ensuring timely delivery of assets.• Acted as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for downstream processing, providing technical guidance to peers and junior colleagues and served as the interim downstream operations lead in the absence of management.• Technical SME on all downstream unit operations: Depth filtration, Chromatography, Virus Filtration, UF/DF.• Led Tier 1 for downstream operations and worked cross-functionally with upper management and site MSAT, local WH, QA, and qualification & validation services to resolve issues regarding material readiness, operational readiness, quality compliance and facility fit matters.• Aseptic processing simulation lead (APS): Scope single-use low burden GMP facility readiness to transition into sterile manufacturing by assessing facility, equipment, and APS training and compliance requirements. • Balanced advanced education with work responsibilities, maintaining high performance in a dynamic clinical manufacturing environment (3 unique modalities per year).

• Trained and operated a wide range of downstream processing equipment including automated filtration systems, single-use chromatography systems, UF/DF systems and other misc. benchtop processing equipment (incubating rockers, Osmo and pH meters, stir plates)• Collaborated with site MSAT group during tech transfer of biologics and gene therapy assets, examining process parameters, criticality, robustness and facility fit to ensure seamless transition into manufacturing. • Authored and reviewed batch records, SOPs, and technical documents to ensure compliance with Good Documentation Practices (GDP) and site Quality requirements.• Conducted quality and compliance initiatives that identified and addressed procedural gaps and worked with QA and deviation writer to ensure timely closure of downstream operations deviations to meet site metrics. • Led continuous improvement projects to optimize downstream processes, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing deviations.

• Acquired in-depth knowledge of antibody discovery process through Hybridoma B-cell establishment in-house.• Performed sub-culturing, freezing, and thawing of mammalian cell lines, alongside other routine cell culture.• Prepared and generated various reagents and buffers necessary for laboratory operations.• Handled rodents following Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) standards. • Managed and logged maintenance activities for liquid nitrogen (LN2) cell storage tanks.
