About Thomas Curiba

I\'m a Research Investigator in biopharma with expertise in downstream process development, tech transfer, and GMP manufacturing for biologics. I specialize in designing robust, scalable purification processes that transition smoothly from early development to clinical manufacturing, ensuring both quality and efficiency.Currently, I\'m leading downstream process development for a first-in-class biologic transitioning from CMC1 to CMC2. Serving as the SME responsible for the strategic design and scale-up of a high-concentration subcutaneous (SC) downstream process. Additionally, leading key process characterization activities for a separate biologic targeting PPQ in 2026.I\'m passionate about bridging the gap between science and execution, whether it\'s optimizing chromatography workflows, supporting GMP production runs, or aligning cross-functional teams. With ~8 years in the industry and a background in biotechnology, I’ve developed a sharp eye for process reliability, regulatory strategy, and manufacturing readiness. I’m always looking for new ways to learn, grow, and push the envelope in biologics development!
