Deep S. Bhattacharya PhD

Deep S Bhattacharya is a senior scientist working with DPDD since November 2019. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Pharmacy in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a focus in engineering polymer-protein conjugates and polymeric nanoparticles using computational chemistry, biophysical tools, formulation developments, to in vivo characterizations in multiple animal models. After joining Pfizer, he has worked with DMD gene therapy, CD80, p40-TL1A bispecific, and currently leading CpG/Alhydrogel adjuvant program for C.Diff and Tetra-Fab LTβR programs. He is experienced in the formulation development of recombinant protein vaccines and high concentration mAbs.

His areas of interest include biophysical assessment of proteins, utilizing NMR for structural determination of biologics, subcutaneous assessments of biologics, early-stage development of biologics, interfacing with early-stage discovery teams for candidate selection, and understanding business strategies for developments of biopharmaceuticals. He also is involved in group functions involving CPED DPDD and new colleague recruitments efforts with the St. Louis DPDD.
