Bioreactor scale-up in pharmaceutical science refers to the process of transferring optimal conditions obtained in small-scale, often high-throughput, bioreactors to large-scale bioreactors. It involves considerations such as mass and heat transfer phenomena, tech transfer, defining and validating operating conditions. The goal is to ensure product quality and facilitate seamless scale... Read more

Biography

Muhammad “Arshad” Chaudhry is working as Director – Cell Line and Upstream Process Development at Disc Medicine for the last one year. Prior to that, he has worked in various roles in upstream processing covering a wide range of biologics (monoclonal antibody, fusion proteins, allogeneic cell therapy, lenti- and AAV -based viral vectors). He has been in the cell culture field for almost 20 years now and has worked mostly in the upstream process development supporting both early and late-stage projects covering CMC activities, GMP manufacturing of clinical grade material, QbD based scale-down model development and process characterization studies. He holds a Ph.D. in Biochemical engineering from University of British Columbia, Vancouver Canada having worked under Dr. James Piret’s guidance on embryonic stem cell bioengineering and fed-batch process development projects.
