Associate Director Global Quality, Analytical Science & Technology - Bristol-Myers Squibb

Scott Huffman is an Associate Director at Bristol Myers Squibb Company in the Global Quality Analytical Science and Technology group within Global Product Development and Supply. He is currently the operations manager for the Forensics and Innovative Technologies group located at the New Brunswick, New Jersey site. Scott received his Bachelor of Science degree from Rutgers University in 1992 and has been with Bristol-Myers Squibb since 2001. For seventeen years Scott worked within the Analytical Strategy and Operations organization of Product Development within Bristol-Myers Squibb. In that role he was responsible for the development and validation of analytical methods for the identification of pharmaceutical materials and finished products. His current work has been focused on developing and implementing new and novel techniques to detect pharmaceutical counterfeits and to support extraneous and foreign matter identification and characterization in samples from manufacturing processes. His interests are mainly in using vibrational spectroscopic techniques such as Raman, Mid-Infrared (IR) and Near-Infrared (NIR) for pharmaceutical counterfeit detection and product authentication. His group also extensively employs microscopy (optical, Raman, IR and SEM), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

(LC/MS), and elemental analysis (EDS) in support of this work. He leads a team of scientists
which provide analytical support to product quality, corporate security, and manufacturing quality and operations groups globally. Prior to his employment with BMS Scott worked for 10 years in analytical chemistry in the environmental, petrochemical, and specialty chemical industries.
