About Me

About me:  I have almost 19 years in the U.S. working in the GMP field.  Mostly validation and QC

I started out in a small contract chemistry laboratory doing wet and analytical methods.  These included USB, BP, EP, and JP methods.  Instrumentation included HPLC, GC, AA, TOC, and IC.  Wet methods included USP titanium dioxide assay, arsenic, and lead.

Facilities I have worked in include: laboratories, Grade A injectable filling lines, medical device filling lines, transdermal delivery solutions,  vaccines, immuno-oncology product, and a compounding pharmacy.
