About
Colleen Price is a leading figure in bioprocess engineering, with a focus on the scalable production of recombinant vaccines and virus-like particles (VLPs). Her work bridges the critical gap between laboratory-scale discovery and industrial manufacturing, particularly in the development of high-throughput, automated purification strategies. Her most influential contribution, the 2007 paper “An automated microscale chromatographic purification of virus‐like particles as a strategy for process development,” has garnered 66 citations and established a foundational methodology for the field. This work introduced a miniaturized, automated chromatographic system that enables rapid, parallel evaluation of fermentation conditions—allowing researchers to assess product quality and expression levels without the bottleneck of traditional, large-scale purification. By integrating cell disruption, immunoassay, and liquid chromatography into a microscale workflow, Price’s approach dramatically accelerates process development for complex biologics. Her research has directly impacted the efficiency of vaccine manufacturing, reducing both time and material costs. For students and researchers in bioprocessing, Price’s work represents a paradigm shift toward rational, data-driven optimization of recombinant vaccine production, making her a key innovator in the transition from bench to bedside.
