Introducing the CMKC Advisory Board!

I’m very delighted to join CMKC in an advisory role to facilitate discussions, sharing knowledge, challenges, experiences, and solution within the pharmaceutical continuous manufacturing community. I’m looking forward to engage with professional colleagues from different areas of pharma industry to exchange ideas, share useful information, and co-create the Knowledge Center content and tools.

I have over twenty years of experience in the area of continuous manufacturing in fine chemical, petrochemical, food, and pharma. In the pharma industry I have worked on continuous manufacturing of small molecules drug substance and drug products, and biologics upstream and downstream. My professional activities are mostly around process design and integration, process control and optimization, modeling and simulation, digital twin, scale-up, tech-transfer, and regulatory. Before starting my consultancy firm (Procegence) I served at the US FDA as a member of an expert team for advancement of emerging technologies to modernize pharmaceutical manufacturing.

What the most I like about the continuous manufacturing is a CM system is like a “symphony orchestra” where individual players, instruments, recipe, flow, segments and all work seamlessly to deliver a pleasant experience and product. However, all my experiences with well-designed stable CM lines have been very “boring”. When there is no disturbance, no alarm, no pushing material bins around, no paper batch recording,…… so fascinatingly boring!
