@ankoorroy
Strategic leader with 10+ years in biologics process development.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic and results-driven leader with over 10 years of experience in downstream biologics process development, specializing in monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecifics, and novel modalities. My expertise lies in driving CMC strategies for global regulatory submissions, including IND and IMPD filings, while effectively managing cross-functional teams to optimize processes from bench to GMP scale.
Throughout my career, I have successfully orchestrated process development and scale-up initiatives, achieving faster tech transfer timelines and securing IND approvals with zero major objections. My collaborative approach has enabled me to mentor and develop talent within my teams, fostering a culture of growth and excellence. I am passionate about bridging technical execution with business strategy to drive company initiatives and deliver impactful results.
