Dakota BioWorx

ANANDA NANJUNDASWAMY It was great to host you and your class! South Dakota State University #justfermentit #bioinnovation

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."

"After spending just a short time in Dakota BioWorx, it became apparent that when our work with South Dakota State University and Dr. Jeremy Chambers is complete, using Dakota BioWorx is the next step in creating our own GMP commercialized product and facility. Dakota BioWorx has everything we need to perfect a scaled-up technology transfer, while also training our employees, in a cost effective and risk mitigated business environment." James Segermark, Founder & CEO, CureIt LifeSci, LLC
