Biography

Extensive experience in fermentation recovery and protein purification operations, with focus on process development from small to pilot scale production of malarial vaccine products expressed in prokaryotic and eukaryotic platforms, suitable for use in human clinical trials (phase I-II) with subsequent technology transfer of optimized in-house pilot scale protein production operations to external cGMP-certified contract manufacturing organizations (CMO) for final vaccine manufacturing, and assistance in the generation and technical review of final Batch Production Records (BPR) for manufacturing under cGMP compliance.
Planning, design, and execution of research studies applied to all aspects of protein purification process development and biochemical-immunological characterization of purified proteins using diverse techniques as immunofluorescence, ELISA, immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, protein-protein interaction, etc.
