Sandeep is Executive Director, Pharmaceutical R&D, Global Biologics in St. Louis where he is responsible for Formulation Development of biotherapeutics with a focus on vaccines and oligonucleotides. In this role he manages projects from discovery support, formulation development, scale-up, and validation through regulatory filings.
Sandeep is a Certified Regulatory Affairs Professional. He is active in AAPS and PDA where he has served as Chairman, Arden House Conference on “Parenteral Products: Integrating Science, Innovation and Patient Needs” (2002); Co-Chair, AAPS/FDA/USP workshop on ‘Future Direction in Aseptic Processing’, (2003); and past Chair of Sterile Product Focus group. He is also an adjunct faculty at University of Tennessee. Sandeep was a Steering Committee Member for the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients.
Sandeep received his PhD in 1992 and since then has been involved with the development of small molecule and protein drugs via Parenteral delivery first at Mallinckrodt Medical and then at Pfizer (Searle, Pharmacia). He has been lead formulator for four launched products.
John began his career with Burroughs Wellcome Co. in 1989 as a pharmaceutical formulator and worked on a variety of dosage forms including liquid and lyophilized parenterals, topical creams and ointments, and oral liquids. He joined Searle, Inc. in Skokie, IL in 1995 responsible for parenteral product formulation and process development, clinical manufacturing, technology transfer/validation, and the R&D microbiology function. In 2001 he transferred to Chesterfield, MO as Site Leader for the Bioprocess and Formulation Technology organization (Pharmacia, Inc.). Following the Pfizer acquisition in 2003, John led the combined Pharmaceutical and Analytical R&D line for Pfizer Global Biologics and from 2007-2009 the Analytical R&D organization. He currently leads the Business Strategy, Operations, and Clinical Supply Planning function, and serves as Site Director for Pfizer St. Louis Laboratories.
John is active in the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists and the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) Training and Research Institute. He has contributed to developing three professional training courses and serves regularly as a course instructor for PDA.
John's research interests include parenteral container/closure integrity evaluation and protein stabilization and processing.
Dr. Ludwig received a B.S. degree in Pharmacy and Ph.D. degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of Tennessee, Memphis. He lives in Wildwood, MO with his wife Sue and their three children.
