Kevin Zen, PhD

Senior Director at IGM Biosciences

Speaker

I have been responsible for overseeing biologics development: Biologics CMC and Technical Operations (from cell line development to fill finish) and overseen external contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMO). Prior to the current position at AnaptysBio, I held leadership positions at Allergan, Allgenesis, AstraZeneca, Becton Dickinson, and Catalent Pharma Solutions/Cardinal Health PTS where I had managed cGMP operations, cell line development, bioprocess development, DS manufacture and fill, DS/DP formulation, protein analytical, primary and secondary structural elucidation, higher order structure characterization, QC release/stability, and technology transfer for sterile, parenteral DP fill/finish for clinical supply and commercial products. I obtained my PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (NYU) in New York City and did my postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Ronald Kaback (a member of National Academy of Sciences) at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Los Angeles.
