Master Bioprocess Technician, Lonza Vacaville
A highly accomplished and results-oriented master bioprocess technician with Lonza, I bring extensive expertise in downstream manufacturing of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies from humanized CHO cells. My career, which began in July 2019, includes increasing levels of responsibility from bioprocess technician, shift leader, and senior technician, to my current role. I have a proven track record of success, including leading the implementation of a new drug and currently overseeing the installation and startup of a cutting-edge automated aseptic filling machine. My comprehensive skill set encompasses a wide range of techniques, including chromatography, viral processing, filtration, formulation, and aseptic filling, with deep knowledge of cGMP standards. As a subject matter expert in aseptic processing, I provide critical leadership in ensuring operational flexibility and compliance across both automated and manual filling suites, making me a valuable asset in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.Â
