Expert is a classically trained biochemist with 30 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry as both a hands-on scientist and scientific leader in process, analytical, and formulation development, product commercialization, and product quality assessment. During his long tenures at Bayer and Amgen, he had the privilege of participating in the development, registration and/or lifecycle management of 15 biological drugs (9 BLAs), including Epogen, Neupogen, Aranesp, Neulasta, Prolia, Kogenate (Factor VIII), and Vectibix. Expert has deep experience in the development of biologicals for oncology and immune disorders, including Imlygic, the first licensed oncolytic virus for melanoma, and Blincyto, the first licensed immunotherapy (for leukemia) using a bifunctional ("BITE") antibody.

Expert's experience covers all aspects of biopharmaceutical product development, with proven expertise in the commercialization of manufacturing and quality operations for biopharmaceuticals, as well as extensive experience with global regulatory filings at all stages of the product lifecycle. Expert’s development and commercialization experience covers both innovator (including first-in-class) therapeutics as well as multiple biosimilars.

As President of Employer, Expert has experience as an expert consultant for biopharmaceutical patent infringement and trade secrets litigation. He has written multiple declarations (U.S.) and Affidavits (Canada), largely around issues related to biosimilar patent infringement, leveraging his vast knowledge of the scientific literature and experience as a process development leader in both establishing intellectual property while designing ways around existing patents to enable unencumbered process and product development (where feasible).

Expert's consulting experience includes assisting biopharmaceutical companies with difficult product development issues, including matters related to formulation and downstream processing. He also has recently consulted on CMC-related matters such as specification setting for a commercial product.
