We are pleased to announce the first annual Champions of Industry Award winner Spencer Chestnut, Biologics Strategy Deployment, of Catalent Pharma Solutions.
This award recognizes consortium partners who have made significant, measurable contributions to the growth and vitality of the regional biomanufacturing ecosystem. Honorees demonstrate leadership, collaboration, and a strong commitment to innovation, workforce development, and community impact.
“Spencer connects industry, nonprofits, and policymakers across the KC BioHub. As a member of AdAstra BIO’s board, he helps convene partners and build the workforce the EDA-designated Tech Hub needs. At Catalent’s Kansas City site—known for biologics, analytics, and pharmaceutical supply—he brings real operations into regional planning: what data teams track, how projects scale, and what it takes to move from development to manufacturing.“
Congratulations and thank you to Spencer for demonstrating leadership and vision for the future of biomanufacturing in Kansas City!
