OBJECTIVE

Continued involvementwith the chemical, medical device or

pharmaceutical industry where I can contribute to the development of

processes/products by using proven strengths in research,

conceptualization, evaluation and problem solving.

CAREER SUMMARY

Background& experience in manufacturing bulk pharmaceutical chemicals

and medical devices with specific experience in:

Technology transfer from R&D to manufacturing Bench scale & pilot

plant production (1g-200kg) Batch process scale-up issues Production

schedules and employee supervision Crystallization techniques Designed

experiments Process modeling using ASPEN+ Equipment/Process validation

QA/QC Manager

U.S. Operations Biodynamics Inc.,U.S. Alachua, FL

(7/96

-7/97) Wrote and established the Quality Assurance program in

compliance with FDA regulations and American Association of Tissue

Banks standards for processing human tissue into medical dev ices.

Conducted internal and external GMP audits relevant to vendors and

processing facilities. Aligned policies and procedures to obtain

certification by the AATB. Designed and implemented an Access database

and bar-code system for inventory control and tracking donor to

recipient information.

Production Manager

Farchan Laboratories Gainesville, FL (7/95 -4/96)

Planned production schedules and supervised a two shift batch

production operation that manufactured a range of specialty

organicchemicals for catalog sales. Increased the production capacity

by 2500y designing and coordinating the installation of a new

reactor system within the existing manufacturing facility.

Sr. Process Development Engineer

G.D. Searle Skokie, IL (7/92 - 12/94)

Acted as lead engineer during the production of Bidisomide (an

anti-arrhythmic drug manufactured in an eight step organic synthesis)

and was heavily involved in transferring the technology from the R&D

site to the production facility in Georgia where product launch

supplies were made. Led a team of three to five process development

engineers when two HIV protease inhibitors and one LTA4 hydrolase

inhibitor were brought forward. Modified, improved or adapted chemical

syntheses when they were scaled-up from bench scale (1-100 grams) to

the pilot plant (1-200 kg) and manufacturing scale (Phase I & II

clinical supplies). Planned production campaigns, assessed corrosion,

waste and safety issues, calculated raw material requirements and

designed equipment modifications. Conducted statistically designed

experiments for improving crystallization protocols on several

processes and presented one study at the AICHE annual meeting (San

Francisco11/94). Computerized the approach for writing batch records

leading to standardized documents from the process engineering group

when the number of projects was increased by 300%. Evaluated several

process modeling systems and chemical databases leading to the lease

of ASPEN+ software.Initiated the installation on a VAX network with PC

interfaces and subsequently trained other process engineers in using

the software. Performed the role oftechnical representative when

chemical intermediates were tolled out to independent manufacturers.
