This presentation will analyse the benefits and limitations associated with the implementation of single-use technology at a large-scale, multi-product commercial manufacturing facility. By integrating single-use components into a stainless steel facility, a hybrid equipment approach enhances manufacturing flexibility while enabling an accelerated manufacturing cadence.
Presented by Ron Bates, Bristol-Myers Squibb

I lead the Manufacturing Science and Technology (MST) group at Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) in Syracuse, NY and am responsible for monitoring, validating, transferring, and improving late-stage and commercial manufacturing processes. Prior to BMS, I led the process development and MST group at Allergan focusing on developing, optimizing, characterizing, transferring, and support manufacturing of wild-type and recombinant prokaryotic-based systems to manufacturing. At Allergan, we developed high throughput methods and implemented disposable processing. Prior to Allergan, I worked at BMS-Syracuse developing and transferring downstream processes to manufacturing for late-stage Fc-fusion and monoclonal antibodies. Before BMS, I worked at Pfizer purifying small molecule moieties using chiral, normal phase, and reversed phase chromatography in traditional, flash, and multi-column continuous systems. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in Biochemical Engineering under Doug Frey studying mathematical modeling of ion exchange chromatography and my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
