Profile Summary

I am an entrepreneurial driven with interest & passion for Bioprocess and Scale-up Engineering. Through education and >10 yrs of Industry work experience, I have gained significant knowledge and skills in Microbial/Cell Culture Fermentation Technology. As a tightening economy puts more rigorous demands on business, pairing technical and business skills is a crucial advantage, and I have been fortunate to gain both technical and business experience. Through my work experience, I have gained a sound knowledge of several vector-based platform technologies such as yeast, microalgae and fungal protein expression systems. I am an entrepreneurial driven person who enjoys taking initiatives to bring new ideas and ambitious projects from concept to commercialization, and this has enabled me to adapt and be flexible to different work environments. Some of my hobbies are running and cross-training workouts.
