I am a senior member of a growing team of scientists working on various vaccine development projects. Most of our vaccines are for companion animals such as cat, dog and horse and aquatic animals such as fish. I play a key role in the method development and optimisation of large scale protein purification and Virus Like Particles expressed in E.coli bacteria and in the implementation of method transfer working closely with manufacturing team.
Process improvement projects - Process optimisation of downstream processing of monoclonal antibodies, characterisation of antibodies and proteins using MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometry, small scale and large scale cell culture using bioreactors-Celligen blu and spinner vessels. Antigen assays using Blitz-biosensor label free system. All work carried out under ISO 9001, ISO 13485. Also wrote SOPs and reports on investigations on process issues and causes. Organised meetings and knowledge share presentations.
Process optimisation and improvement - native protein purification, depleted serum (serum devoid of IgG, IgA, IgM,IgD & IgE).
Managing human protein production projects using industry standard technology according to strict guide lines and specifications. Investigation of process issues, out of specifications, Improvement of yield and process methodology. Supervision of Laboratory personnel, preparing production schedules, active participation in team meetings with senior managers, troubleshooting projects.
Prepared Analytical Method Transfer protocols, written reports on assay method validation.
1. I was responsible for a major project sponsored by European Union Frame Work V. This study involved various aspects of meat quality and protein expression on porcine muscle. Large volume of samples were studied using proteomics including MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry 2. Recepient of Proof of Concept Fund from Scottish enterprise to study the markers of meat eating quality for eighteen months. This project involved processing of bovine muscle samples and studying the low and high level expression of different proteins using proteomics technology. .
Worked in the departments of Orthopaedics, Surgery and Clinical Biochemistry under various projects including biosynthetic activities of articular cartilage in relation to mechanical loading and another project on controlling hypertrophic scarring of wounds. Also published and presented papers with senior academics(Richard Aspden, Iain Muir)
Purification and characterisation of C3a from human blood and characterisation of its receptor from U937 cells. This project involved protein purification, cell culture and ligand-receptor binding studies.
Research projects on increasing tea production and improvement of black tea quality.
Assisting with project feasibility studies related to the development of North and East of Sri Lanka.
