We'd like you to meet our newest bioprocess engineer, Sam Platzman. Sam meshes experience in bioprocess settings with a continuous learning approach to engineer creative solutions to common problems faced along the path to achieving stable bioproduct manufacturability. Having experience in academic microbiological lab, pharmaceutical development, and synthetic biology, Sam combines invaluable insights gained in the initial, and later stages of bioprocess development. With benchtop scale lab operations falling under his scope at Dakota BioWorx, Sam guides clients through the equipment, characterization, and operational challenges faced bringing their "lightning in a bottle" to larger scales, preparing them effectively for at-scale biomanufacturing.
"Process optimization is a principal I carry with me in every aspect of life, and I am excited to have the opportunity to apply and grow my knowledge as a bioprocess engineer at Dakota BioWorx; the mission and goals of the company to grow the surrounding bioeconomy are thrilling, and I am proud to be contributing towards them with the projects being undertaken."
