Student at University of Massachusetts Lowell

Speaker

Jaeweon Lee, MSE, is a Ph.D. student in Chemical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, working in Dr. Seongkyu Yoon’s laboratory. His research focuses on upstream monoclonal antibody (mAb) manufacturing process development, including perfusion media recycling, process analytical technology (PAT), and continuous processing. Prior to beginning his Ph.D., he contributed to an FDA project investigating the relationship between API localization in lipid bilayers and the toxicity of the liposomal drug AmBisome®. He later trained at the U.S. FDA in both upstream and downstream mAb bioprocessing, gaining hands-on experience in bioreactors, purification, and critical quality attribute (CQA) analysis. During his doctoral studies, he has been developing an integrated upstream platform designed to control CQAs in steady-state perfusion processes. In his talk, he will present the integrated bioreactor components and share the progress achieved to date.
