John Peterson, senior director in chemistry and manufacturing control statistics at GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals, was recently presented with the 2019 AIChE Pharmaceutical Discovery, Development, and Manufacturing Award for “outstanding contributions to quality-by-design for drug product.” This is a national annual award presented by the American Institute of Chemical Engineering (AIChE).
Peterson received this award for contributions across the pharmaceutical product lifecycle through discovery, development, and manufacturing spanning drug substance, drug product, and in-vivo studies. In particular, he was recognized for his work on ICH Q8 design space development, where he created an innovative and highly cited Bayesian approach.
Peterson is the first statistician to receive this award from AIChE. He is a longtime member of the American Statistical Association and an ASA Fellow.
