@edwinresol
Senior GMP Quality Assurance leader driving ADC and bispecific manufacturing quality, compliance, and launch readiness.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior GMP Quality Assurance leader with 30+ years in biopharmaceuticals, specializing in oversight of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) and bispecific antibody manufacturing (Phases 1–3 through commercial launch). I build phase-appropriate QA strategies across global CDMO networks and deliver end-to-end GMP QA for programs like Zanidatamab (HER2-bispecific antibody). My regulatory impact includes FDA PAI involvement that resulted in QA systems acceptance and product approval.
I partner closely with analytical, CMC, and manufacturing teams to drive risk-based, ICH-aligned GxP compliance (Q5/Q6/Q7/Q8/Q9/Q10), supported by strong data integrity practices (ALCOA+). I lead deviation/CAPA investigations, change control, batch disposition, and analytical method validation (including immunoassays like ELISAs), with deep familiarity in aseptic operations, sterility assurance, and microbial contamination control. My foundation in microbiology and hands-on QC leadership strengthens my ability to align controls, investigations, and inspection readiness.
