Viral Clearance Testing Increasingly Challenged by New Biologic Modalities

Mark Rogers, PhD, mark.rogers@sgs.com, is the global scientific director for the SGS Health Science Drug Development group. He  has been with SGS for nearly 8 years since joining the company via an acquisition (M-Scan) in 2010. Rogers received his PhD in analytical chemistry from Westminster University in 1985 and has over 35 peer-reviewed publications, including Nature, and one patent. His post-doctoral work, at Imperial College, London, was followed by a lectureship in the endocrinology department at St. Mary’s hospital specializing in diabetes. Rogers then went on to join M-Scan, USA in 1990 where he remained as vice-president until its acquisition by SGS. Since joining SGS he has had several roles including, head of North American Biologics, vice-president of SGS USA, and today, he is the Global Scientific director for the SGS Health Science Drug Development group.
