Michael W. Vandiver

Vice President of Manufacturing & Plant Design, Just Biotherapeutics

Michael has over 30 years of biopharmaceutical process development and manufacturing experience. At Just Biotherapeutics, he led efforts to bring the company’s J.Plant and J.Pod clinical and commercial biomanufacturing facilities online. “I would like to see the cost of biologics driven down, as well as the expansion of global access to medicines, where cost savings are passed onto patients rather than increasing profit margins.” Looking back, Michael wishes he’d realized earlier that, “you will fail more times than you will succeed, but failure is how you will learn.”
