ABOUT DANIEL MAJONIS

Research scientist and leader with over 10 years industrial experience inventing commercially successful chemical products for the biotechnology sector.• Expert in polymer, bioconjugate, and analytical chemistry.• Extensive experience witho Polymer synthesis: living radical & anionic polymerizations, multi-step post-polymerization modifications, orthogonal end-group chemistry, dispersion polymerizations, functional polymers.o Analytical techniques: thermal analysis (TGA), gel permeation chromatography (THF, aqueous, triple detector), FPLC (size-exclusion, ion-exchange, affinity; incl. preparative), spectroscopy & spectrometry (NMR, UV/VIS, FTIR, ICP-MS).o Bioconjugate chemistry: preparation, scale-up, and design transfer of bioanalytical reagents, including antibody-polymer conjugates and small molecule reagents.o Structure-Property relationships: how polymer synthetic method, length, backbone, pendant structure, metal-content, hydrodynamic volume, charge, and other considerations affect the performance of antibody-polymer conjugates.• Lead or co-lead scientist behind 7 major product lines responsible for significant yearly revenue.• Extremely capable technical problem-solver with a knack for finding practical, manufacturable solutions. Enjoys gaining proficiency in new and unexplored technical (sub)fields.• Works closely with cross-functional teams (R&D, Operations, PM, Marketing, Sustaining, Quality) for setting business priorities, introducing new products, resolving sustaining issues, and improving manufacturing protocols.• Collaborates well with colleagues across scientific & engineering disciplines. Maintains fruitful collaborations with academic labs. Contributes to company IP strategy and pipelines.
