From Biology Grad To Manufacturing Guru
Stephanie Wimberly graduated from Howard University in 2012 with a degree in biology. What was next? An online search turned up an intriguing area – pharmaceutical manufacturing. “It was manufacturing,” she thought, “but I could still help patients." It was a fortuitous start. This young female professional with a penchant for helping others started a manufacturing career that has wound through GSK, and leadership roles at Shire/Takeda. Now as a manufacturing consultant, here is her advice for manufacturing outsourcing, and careers.
AbbVie's head of biologics purification development and digitization teams, Moiz Diwan, Ph.D., and independent technology consultant Kat Kozyrytska share their thoughts on AI and smart technology adoption in this recap of the Bioprocess Online Live event, “How Digital Tools Are Accelerating Biopharma Development.”
Bioprocess Online's chief editor, Tyler Menichiello, reflects on the year and provides a preview of what to expect in 2026.
Chief Editor Louis Garguilo says he's sure some readers will smirk at our headline. CDMOs are running a business; they may attempt to treat all customers equally, but they focus where the most financial gain is. That's usually with bigger clients. Nonetheless, according to a very experienced outsourcing professional, there's nothing humorous here at all.
New FDA draft guidance aims to reduce the timeline and cost of developing biosimilars.
