Sustainable Medicines Manufacturing: Biologics | RNA | Oligos | OSDs Director of Business Development, Pharma
To leave my own business it had to be a big one and it had to be a brilliant one. So here it is…. I am completely thrilled to say I’ve joined the leadership team at CPI Pharma as the Director of Business Development. This is the go-to place for scaling cutting-edge therapeutics and new, sustainable technology for manufacturing medicines. I’m one week in and, frankly, I’m astounded by the innovation, ambition and momentum that this CPI team is delivering through the: -Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre, -RNA Centre of Excellence & Training Academy -National Biologics Manufacturing Centre. …And if that wasn’t enough, the Chancellor announced in the autumn statement a multi-million pound Oligonucleotide Manufacturing Innovation Centre of Excellence to be built and led by, yep, this CPI Pharma team. Plus the collaboration is on a different level - working in partnership with the likes of GSK, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Novartis, Siemens, Exactmer, PwC to name only a few - all in a precompetitive space. And the best bit? We have a whole team dedicated to making these collaborations, specialist facilities and expertise available to companies - especially the ones looking to scale from the lab, digitalise their manufacturing processes to be more sustainable or work on problems that are just too big or too risky for one company. That’s the bit I get to work on. Setting up my own consultancy 6 years ago has exceeded my wildest expectations; I could never have imagined how many brilliant companies, teams and science I’d get to work with; from in vitro drug discovery to biological ageing, from agritech to AI driven diagnostics, from entrepreneurial start-ups to government strategic plans. So the decision wasn’t an easy one at all - it really needed to be this big and this brilliant. Thank you for letting me into this very special club Dave Tudor John Arthur Brendan Fish #medicines #manufacturing #rnatherapeutics #oligonucleotides #biologics #sustainability #digitalisation
