Summary
Behnam Partopour is a Principal Scientist based in Massachusetts with nine years of experience leading process and technology development across mAbs, RNA, cell therapies, and viral modalities. He directs corporate research at Sartorius, building economic models and GPU-accelerated predictive designs that couple computational fluid dynamics, additive manufacturing, and high-throughput experiments to accelerate next‑gen bioprocessing. Previously he founded process modeling and data science capabilities at Resilience and led in silico unit operation design, digital twins, and image-based fault detection for cell and gene therapy production at Vertex. His work bridges first‑principles engineering and machine learning to reduce development timelines and de‑risk scale-up, including a patent-pending ML-assisted formulation approach from his Amgen postdoc. He is experienced in building cloud-enabled infrastructure and cross-functional teams to translate predictive models into manufacturing strategy and technoeconomic forecasts. Notably, he integrates sustainability and uncertainty quantification into forecasting to guide strategic decisions for future biomanufacturing.
