Research Interests

Modeling Batch and fed-batch Mammalian Cell Culture for Optimizing MAb Productivity

Research efforts focus on obtaining an overall model that predicts the behavior of both batch and fed-batch systems as a function of the extracellular nutrient/metabolite concentrations. Such knowledge will aid in identifying dominant factors in play and thus optimize Monoclonal Antibody (MAb) Production.
