About Amanda Aldous Green

Quality Assurance Professional with experience building a preclinical and phase I quality management system and managing quality operations at emerging immuno-oncology, peptide-based, mRNA platform, and cellular therapy companies. Experience working inter-disciplinarily to deliver IND and IMPD filings and complete a phase I trial. Certified in quality auditing through ASQ. Experienced peptide chemist who leverages research background to best understand science being performed, reviewed, and discussed. Excellent communicator presenting data and collaborating interdepartmentally, as well as externally with vendors and CMOs. • Quality Management System (ZenQMS)• Document Control and Change Control• cGMPs and 21 CFR Part11• Batch Records, Deviations, CAPA, OOS• Certificate of Analysis and Conformance• Vendor Management and Audits (CQA)• Visual Inspection Programs• Equipment Qualification • Data Auditing and IND filing support• Material Review Board• Excellent communication, presentation, and teamwork skills• Health, Safety, and Environment experience via lab safety officer and chemical hygiene officer roles • Graduate Institute for Teaching training in pedagogy and practice• Experience teaching diverse school districts and engaging students of all levels in general chemistry. • Strong commitment to community outreach • Manual and automated Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis and macrocyclization strategies • Peptide purification/characterization using RP-HPLC, MALDI-TOF-MS, HPLC-MS, UPLC-MS, and ESI-MS • Peptide drying strategies including lyophilization, freeze drying, and evaporation techniques• UV-Vis characterization of metal-binding in small peptide sequences• GC-MS and GC-FID characterization of catalytic transformations, including chiral determinationThrough my involvement in science outreach and museum programs, I have witnessed firsthand the impacts of teaching science to the community. As a researcher, I see how investigating and implementing various principles and concepts can affect day to day lives. As a QA professional, I comprehend the significance of building quality into processes and establishing systems to hold products to those standards. I feel very passionate about science, and about education, and feel these go hand-in-hand in a successful society.
