SKILLS
ABOUT PAUL PARK
Analytical Chemist (Ph.D, MBA, MS) with experience leading multi-site analytical development programs for viral vector platforms and coordinating cross-functional execution across R&D, QC, manufacturing, and external partners. I specialize in sample preparation, HPLC, LC-MS–based method development, residual and stability assays, and method troubleshooting. I have led the delivery of comprehensive analytical packages for AAV programs, helping resolve complex technical challenges through cross-functional collaboration and sustained problem-solving.My work involves maintaining timelines, identifying risks, aligning stakeholders, supporting tech transfer, stabilizing customer-facing workflows, and preparing decision-ready updates and technical documentation. I apply structured communication and project-management principles to ensure clarity, transparency, and consistent workflow progress. I combine scientific depth with disciplined program execution to support efficient, well-coordinated development environments.
