After obtaining a master’s degree in Cell Engineering, he continued on to establish a career in diverse scientific areas such as in cell culture process development, tech transfer, validation, and cGMP. Before joining Samsung, he participated in numerous production process development using various animal cells including CHO cells for antibody and fusion protein production. He also had experience with bacteria, yeast fermentation and virus production. After years of working at such donor sites, he finally went on to join Samsung Biologics in 2016, leading cell culture tech transfer projects ranging from orphan drugs to blockbuster and biosimilars.
Furthermore, he took part in the setup of the N-1 perfusion process in Plant 3, which was carried out very successfully, resulting in cell productions with high concentrations.
