Rich Rogers

Dr. Rich Rogers received his Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University in 2003. His research focused on SUMO modification of transcription factors. As a post doc, Rich joined the Institute for Systems Biology. At the ISB, Rich expanded his research on post translational modification by applying mass spectrometry to detect phosphorylation and other ubiquitin-like modifications in macrophages. In 2012, Rich joined the Analytical Sciences group at Amgen. At Amgen, Rich developed a mass spectrometry based multi-attribute method (MAM) for biotherapeutic characterization and release from QC. In 2015, Rich joined Just Biotherapeutics where he continued his work on MAM and started the MAM Consortium. In 2019, Rich joined BMS, in Seattle, where he applied the principles of MAM for cell-based therapies. Rich is currently at Umoja Biopharma, where he is leading the analytical strategy for two preclinical programs and a research team leveraging analytics, including mass spectrometry, to characterize the VivoVec platform.
