Suzanne Farid is an engineer who specialises in Biochemical and Systems Engineering. She currently serves as a professor at University College London.
Career[edit]
Farid's career has focused on researching and developing monoclonal antibodies to cell and gene therapies. In 2007, Farid's paper featured in the Journal of Chromatography discussing the cost-effective manufacture of antibodies.[1]
She featured in Biotechnology and Bioengineering in 2012, with Farid evaluating current and future potential of batch and continuous cell culture technologies. The paper followed a case study into the commercial manufacture of monoclonal antibodies.[2]
In 2020, Farid and lead-author Maria Papathanasiou published a paper in Nature on how T cells could be used as a cancer therapy in the future.[3][4] Her expertise in the field led her to be part of the government task force during the COVID-19 pandemic as a member of the 100 Days Mission roundtable. Farid was also interviewed numerous times in relation to the development of a vaccine and also became Director of the UCL-AstraZeneca Bioprocessing Centre of Excellence.[5]
In 2022, she was elected as a fellow at the Royal Academy of Engineering.[6][7] She also serves as co-director of the Future Targeted Healthcare Manufacturing Hub, which is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.[8]
