Making Media a Priority:An Interview with Susan Riley of Advanced Bioprocessing

摘要

Susan Riley is vice president and general manager of Advanced Bioprocessing. It's been a year since Thermo Fisher Scientific acquired the Advanced Bioprocessing business from Becton Dickinson (BD).Why did Thermo Fisher see the Advanced Bioprocessing (AB) business as a good fit with its life-science offerings? AB has a significant portfolio in premium supplements for cell culture and microbial fermentation. The AB business was seen as a good fit for several reasons: It goes hand-in-glove with Gibco media, for which Thermo had used many AB supplements in those formulations. AB also offered analytical capabilities and a depth of material characterization and media analysis for understanding key drivers of cellular metabolism.
