Tony Hitchcock

Technical Director, Cobra Biologics

Tony has over 30 years of experience in the large-scale manufacture of biopharmaceuticals. As a founding staff member of Cobra, he has been responsible for the development of much of Cobra’s manufacturing technologies in the field of DNA and virus production. “A number of people have inspired me, both within the companies I have worked for and outside. A key person was David Thatcher who I worked with for over 19 years and had great scientific insight into the area of bioprocessing. I have also been fortunate to work with a wide range of customers, developing highly innovative and novel products. A key academic who has inspired me is Professor Alvin Nienow, who I have worked with for over 20 years and at 82 is still teaching and inspiring the next generation of scientists in the field.”
