Research

My research career as a biochemical engineer focused on delivering high-quality research at the interface of academia and industrial impact. My research outputs in the areas of bioprocess development, modelling, monitoring and control, Quality by design (QbD) and Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) have made significant contributions to R&D in the biopharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals and food & drink sectors both within and outside the UK.

My research approach is based on the fundamental understanding and monitoring of the biological processes using post genomic methodologies and combining it with engineering principles of scale-up and process intensification. Most recently my group is investigating the use of these methodologies in monoclonal antibody manufacture, cell gene therapy, viral production and ADC production. Specifically, my main interests stem from the area of advanced monitoring and control of processes and, over the years, I have developed and disseminated novel control strategies for the optimisation of recombinant protein production by integrating the physiological and engineering approaches.


These approaches include machine learning, artificial intelligence and multivariate data analysis methods, successfully combined with first principle models to increase the predictive power of the resulting models. We used these models for the optimisation of the whole process, accounting for important interaction between individual unit operations, so often disregarded. The agent-based technology allowed us to make this process very efficient both in time and resources required and hence a direct applicability to industry is straightforward. This is particularly important in the current climate of driving for rapid development of viral production processes and more effective biotherapeutic manufacturing.
