Merrilee Whitney, Head of Next Generation Bioprocessing, Merck, is a chemical engineer by training. “Our business unit is not directly involved in drug discovery or the manufacture of commercial drugs, but our products do contribute and that is really motivating for me,” she says. “Next generation bioprocessing is a newly emerging, complex area, and there are a lot of questions that need answering, and a lot of problems to be solved. The chemical engineer in me is really excited to be involved in this field.”
