`therapeutic agents to treat a variety of human diseases. Participated in the
`development and launch of AdcetrisTM,AvonexTM, AngiomaxTM, XigrisTM, and
`ForteoTM. As part of the executive management team at Seattle Genetics, played a
`key role in building a commercial biopharmaceutical company focused on the
`development of antibody-drug conjugate technology for the treatment of cancer. I
`have experience building highly successful product development teams and
`supervising process sciences, manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance,
`preclinical research, bioanalytical, and project management.

`Employment History
`
`MRosenberg BioPharma Consulting, LLC
`
`General consulting on the development of biologics, antibodies, antibody drug
`conjugates, and biosimilars. I have consulted for 12 companies over the past two years
`during which time I have helped formulate the CMC outsourcing strategy for several
`biologics and antibody drug conjugates, assisted in the make/buy decision for a biologics
`and ADC manufacturing facility, and overseen the design and construction of a Phase 1
`enabling cGMP ADC conjugation facility.

`
` As part of the Executive Management Committee I helped build Seattle Genetics from an early start up
`company to a commercial biopharmaceutical company with a cancer therapy on the market in the
`United States and a strong portfolio of antibody-drug conjugates in preclinical and clinical
`development for as treatments for a variety of cancers.
`• Responsible for establishing process sciences and manufacturing at Seattle Genetics. Over the course
`of 11 years I recruited and trained 150 scientists, engineers and quality specialists that were responsible
`for the process development and manufacturing of our clinical candidates.
`• Established the clinical and commercial supply chain network for antibody and antibody drug
`conjugate.
`• Oversaw the manufacture of clinical supply materials for 9 antibody and antibody drug conjugate
`programs over a span of 11 years.
`• Experience in establishing highly potent compound (band 4 potency compounds) manufacturing
`facilities for antibody drug conjugation at Seattle Genetics and for antibody drug conjugation and
`fill/finish at contract manufacturing facilities in support of the Seattle Genetics pipeline
`• Responsible for the process development, manufacture, validation, and approval of the AdcetrisTM
`commercial manufacturing process.

`
`• Played a key role in defining a CMC strategy that allowed for the accelerated approval of AdcetrisTM,
`the first new treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in over 30 years (approved August 2011). In
`particular my group was able to fast track the BLA submission by over one year allowing a far earlier
`market launch.
`• Defined the structure of the CMC Section of the AdcetrisTM BLA. Played a key role in influencing the
`FDA with respect to how BLA’s incorporating both large molecule (antibody) and small molecule
`(cytotoxin) data packages should be constructed for easy and rapid review and approval.

`
` Built a department of 65 people responsible for the development of biopharmaceutical manufacturing
`processes. Group responsibilities include cell and molecular biology, fermentation, cell culture,
`bioreactor scale up, clarification, analytical methods development and production of Phase I/II cGMP
`supplies. Group had ongoing programs in recombinant E coli, mammalian cell culture, and natural
`products fermentation.
`• Developed cell culture process for the manufacture of Xigris (approved USA Nov 2001). Responsible
`for process development, technical transfer and scale up to Lonza, and filing of the CMC section of the
`BLA.
`• Developed recombinant E. coli fermentation process for Forteo (approved USA Nov 2002).
`• Group designed, built and managed a 500L cell culture pilot plant responsible for manufacturing
`preclinical drug supplies. Managed $6M capital budget and 18 month construction and installation
`timeline.
`• Recruited 32 scientists and engineers from world class biopharmaceutical companies and integrated
`new individuals with diverse backgrounds and new capabilities into a department containing scientists
`who have been involved in biopharmaceuticals development since the inception of recombinant DNA
`technology.
`• Established a high throughput pilot plant for the production of large numbers of novel proteins for
`preclinical studies. Produced over 200 secreted recombinant proteins in two years.
`• Helped establish new business processes for managing a portfolio of recombinant protein and natural
`product candidates. Includes establishment of a management team to review development programs
`against goals and objectives and the creation of functional integrated process core teams responsible
`for tactical development and execution of processes.

` Managed a group of 19 scientists and engineers responsible for the development of protein therapeutic
`manufacturing processes. Responsible for cell culture, fermentation, clarification, ultrafiltration unit
`operations and for cost modeling activities.
`• Led Process Development team responsible for the development of the cell culture production process
`for Avonex ( approved USA May 1996; EU 1997).
`• Team leader for the development of a manufacturing process for a humanized antibody that reached
`Phase II clinical trials. Completed design of Phase III/market launch manufacturing process.
`• Chaired committee responsible for creating and implementing an improved fast track approach to
`process development. Resulted in identification of roughly 50 percent time savings in ability to move
`a protein therapeutic from discovery to clinical trials.
