Christopher Potter’s Expertise I have been instrumental in implementing new product development strategy from initial market requirement through technical feasibility, optimization and transfer lot manufacture. As Head of R&D at Lab M and Neogen, I both led my own dynamic team and co-ordinated critical activities with other key stakeholders in order to successfully complete timely development and commercialisation activities to bring to market key products in the Lab M and Neogen culture media portfolio. I set and managed the R&D departmental budget (both consumables and CAPEX) and had responsibility for recruitment of staff into the team. I engaged directly and built relationships with suppliers to identify candidate raw materials for both technical suitability and to establish lead times and initial pricings. I excel in providing high level technical support to key account and product managers to answer and resolve customer queries and application specific issues. I have held of role of site Biological Safety Officer for 16 years. I implemented biological safety best practice, risk assessments and monitored ongoing compliance by reviewing relevant legislation for employees and trained all new starters. I am confident in using the QPulse quality system, SAGE, TMS and Solomon, Workfront, IDBS Electronic Lab Book management in addition to Microsoft Office programs. I have completed full training through Neogen’s innovation program to “Black Belt” level and am qualified as a trainer for this process. Here are my proudest achievements: I was awarded a Churchill travelling fellowship for Biochemical Engineering which enabled me to carry out a 3 month tour of academic institutes and commercial companies in the Netherlands and Germany at the cutting edge of biofiltration and bioremediation technologies. Throughout my career I have both mentored and enabled the career advancement of over 30 scientists, the majority of which have gone on to have successful careers in microbiology or biotechnology.
