Academic/Professional Experience
The Stratification of Patient Immune Responses to Therapeutic Antibodies London
Top 10 for subject, UK 2017
{ Research project using computational immunology to predict immunogenicity of commercial fully human mAbs
{ Analysis focused on germ line heavy and light chain allele variability as a predictor of immunogenicity
{ Correlation of immunogenicity rates in clinical trials with predictor scores demonstrated statistical significance
{ Implications of the findings in R&D and therapy administration were qualitatively explored in terms of cost savings,
regulatory compliance and patient safety
NanoSep Business Plan London
Top 10 for subject, UK 2016–2017
{ As part of a team of 3 students, created a business plan for the commercialization of a novel liquid chromatography
nanofiber matrix
{ Major responsibilities included the development of an R&D strategy, time-line and budget which also included a
technical risk assessment and exploration of potential industrial partnerships
{ Furthermore, was responsible for the manufacturing plan, most notably within the context of ISO9001 regulations,
as well as CAPEX and COG estimation
{ Played a key role in other aspects of the business plan including market sizing and NPV analysis
Herceptin Bio-Process Project London
Top 10 for subject, UK 2016–2017
{ As part of a team of 5 students, led the planning of the development and operation of a theoretical Herceptin
bio-similar in China using Stainless Steel and Single Use bio-processing technology
{ Major roles included estimating the market size for our product, researching direct competitors (Roche, Celltrion
Biocon at that time), market entry challenges (reimbursement access, protectionism) and product pricing.
{ Also heavily involved in more technical roles, such as the mass balancing and sizing of the bioreactor and clarification
stages of our mammalian cell (CHO) bioprocess
{ Furthermore, played a major role in CAPEX estimation, NPV analysis and project scheduling for bio-processing
facility
{ Our group was selected among 15 other UCL groups to present our project to the Institute of Chemical Engineers
for accreditation of the university’s biochemical engineering department
University Lab Internship London
Top 10 for subject, UK 2015
{ Recruited for a two month paid research internship at the University XXX Structural Biology lab
{ Basic research on transcription factors implicated in DNA repair in thermpholic archea
{ First two weeks were supervised, but from then on, the large part of my research was carried out independently
{ Further developed organization, analytical (experiment design and troubleshooting), presentation (reporting of
findings) and interpersonal skills (receiving and giving advice to peers, discussing experiments).
Skills
