Phil Doherty

I attained a MChem in Chemistry and Physiology at the University of Sunderland prior to joining Pfizer Global R&D, Sandwich in the UK in 1991. I worked there for 12 years in the Technology Development Group, designing & building novel Process Analytical Technology systems for API and Solids Manufacturing applications. In 1997 I was the recipient of the AAPS Outstanding manuscript of the Year for Quality for pioneering work on the design of the world’s first Online NIR Blend analysis system. Work on the application of chemical imaging & lab robotics followed. In 2003 I took up the role as PAT Manager delivering innovative technologies such as Model Predictive Control of High Shear Wet Granulation and Inline measurement systems for Continuous Manufacturing of Pfizer’s biggest selling product. In 2012 I founded Process Analytics Ltd, a company specialising in providing total Process Analytical Solutions and QbD services to wider the pharmaceutical & food industries. In 2019 Process Analytics Ltd was acquired by Expo Technologies and became Expo Process Analytics Ltd where I served as the Managing Director of the company developing PAT solutions that were adopted by many of the top 20 Pharma companies worldwide until 2024. In 2024 I founded Acuitis Process Analytical Technologies Ltd and now work as an independent PAT consultant.
