Downstream processing and quality operations across two industrial fermentation sites.

Ingredient sales into European food-processing and cosmetics accounts.

Leads strain engineering and the expression-strain library.

Target protein characterisation and specification work.

Biological safety across strain and process work.

Bioreactor and process engineering for the continuous-production line.

Purification and recovery, the step that sets final purity and yield.

Control systems for continuous operation and run-to-run data capture.

Food-grade quality system and certification readiness from pilot scale onward.

Regulatory strategy across the cosmetics, food-enzyme and REACH pathways.

Advises on industrial fermentation and scale-up economics.
