Peter Chase, Scientific Director and Head of Core Automation team at Bristol Myers Squibb. I direct a team of 20+ managers, engineers and scientists that operate and support the 50+ automation platforms and 1,500+ standalone instruments powering the data engine behind Lead Discovery (uHTS), Lead Evaluation (SAR/SLR), Lead Profiling (ADME-Tox) and Compound Management across sites in Princeton, San Diego, San Francisco and Cambridge (MA). I direct the repairs & maintenance of the automation fleet and standalone instrumentation, including managing the budget and sitting on the R&D advisory team. I implemented and direct the lab services point-of-use supply chain of shared consumables for these fleets in a method that removes day-to-day ordering/stocking from the scientific team running the experiments and robots. I work with global procurement and business operations to coordinate capital equipment purchasing annually across a 200+ employee department, typically 50+ unique instruments/projects each year. My pre-directorial background was primarily in high-throughput screening (1MM-4MM compound screening libraries), but I also operated and maintained compound management hitpicking platforms. During that period I became an expert in multiple automation scheduling environments (Thermo, HighRes, GNF, PerkinElmer). I have worked in both large Pharma and academic institute environments, and greatly enjoyed what each had to offer. Final bullet point, I graduated with Honors in Chemical Engineering from Penn State (Schreyer Honors Scholar) with honors thesis work focusing on fluid dynamics.
