ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Madeline McCarthyBusiness Development Associate, Abzena

Madeline McCarthy is currently a Business

Development Associate at Abzena, a Cambridge (UK) based contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) with expertise in custom biologics. Based out of Abzena’s GMP manufacturing site in San Diego, she spends a majority of her time collaborating with industry and academic professionals to support the development and manufacture of recombinant proteins, antibodies, cell therapies

and vaccines for preclinical and clinical studies.

Being successful at her daily tasks, such as drafting scopes of work, proposals and determining accurate project-specific costs, requires a conceptual understanding of the biotech space; bridging science, business, legal, and regulatory aspects. She developed much of her interdisciplinary approach at Johns Hopkins University, where she obtained a Masters in Biotechnology Enterprise and Entrepreneurship (MBEE). She became interested in the MBEE program while involved in a side project, helping to generate a business plan around an early-stage device technology.
