Guilherme Augusto Del Padre

Biotechnology Engineer by the State University of São Paulo and Master in Chemical Engineering with emphasis in Bioprocesses by the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo, I have a concise training in the development and optimization of bioprocesses from a laboratory scale to industrial volumes. I obtained international experience, working in the multinational company Südzucker, Germany, where I optimized a bioethanol production from unfermented sugar residues, modulating the components of the culture medium. Still in Germany, I worked with the development of in situ microscopy technologies for the monitoring of E. coli cell growth. Thus, I could perfect my techniques and knowledge in fermentative processes. During the Masters, I studied an in vitro production of viral bioinsecticides, using insect cells, applying knowledge of statistical analysis of Design of Experiments (DoE) for optimization of biotechnological processes. Currently, I work as a biotechnology researcher at Cristália Laboratories in the area of process development to obtain biopharmaceuticals from cultures of animal cells. In this position, I have gained solid experience with design and validation of processes, scale up, cultivation systems and in purification processes, as example give, clarification by depth filtration and tangential filtration. Because of my background, it is easy to me identify and solve problems related to industrial process engineering and the development of new biotechnological products in both the upstream and downstream stages.
