About Chayanne Scales

I\'m a pharmaceutical and biotech professional with hands-on experience across upstream and downstream manufacturing environments — from vial-thaw to final titer yield, and bench scale to 50L GMP production.I\'ve led GMP confirmation runs, authored technology transfer documentation, and contributed to scalability strategy through multi-platform data analysis. My work spans viral vector production, bioreactor operation across multiple platforms, end-to-end vector purification, and PAT implementation for real-time process optimization.I bring a process engineer\'s mindset to everything I do — I\'m not just executing steps, I\'m asking why they work and how to make them better. I\'m bilingual in Spanish and English, self-motivated, and comfortable owning complex, cross-functional work.
