I currently work at Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies within a project team planning experiments to support the development, evaluation and characterisation of processes for the manufacture of novel therapeutic products.
These experiments primarily focus on protein purification, and processes range from laboratory benchtop scale through to large 5000L fermenter manufacturing plant scale. This involves the use of techniques such as primary separations (homogenisation, depth filtration, clarification), protein purification (chromatography, ultrafiltration), and analytical techniques, such as gel electrophoresis and spectrometry.
