Dr. Marcus O'Mahony
Dr. Marcus O’Mahony is a Senior Research Fellow and Principal Investigator with the PMTC, leading the strategic research theme of "Data Analytics" within the PMTC.
Marcus has contributed to R&D in both academic and industrial environments for over 10 years, and he now uses that experience to support PMTC industry partners in their strategic research. Marcus received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Limerick working within the Synthesis and Solid-State Pharmaceutical Centre. For his postdoctoral research, Marcus contributed to the Novartis-MIT Centre for Continuous Manufacturing as well as the DARPA Pharmacy on Demand project in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT.
Marcus later joined Vertex Pharmaceuticals and worked within formulation development where, as a subject matter expert, he was the process development lead in the technical transfer of a new drug product from early clinical batch manufacture to the commercial continuous manufacturing platform.
He has contributed to fundamental unit operation understanding and has also led a cross-functional data science initiative while at Vertex
