• B.S., Chemical Engineering, University of Connecticut (’20)

Dominique Schiraldi began her academic journey at the University of Connecticut in 2016, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in chemical and biomolecular engineering with a minor in molecular and cell biology. While at UConn, she was actively engaged both inside and outside the classroom, serving as Vice President of Public Relations for Engineering Ambassadors and as an active member of the organization’s presentation team, working as an undergraduate teaching assistant for engineering courses, and contributing to research focused on the health impacts of atmospheric particulate matter. She graduated in 2020 with a strong academic foundation and a clear interest in applying engineering to meaningful scientific challenges.

Schiraldi has since developed her career at Bristol Myers Squibb, where she now serves as a Senior Manager, MES Engineering Cell Therapy Network Business Partner. In this role, she supports the manufacturing of advanced cell therapies, designing and maintaining Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) that convert complex scientific processes into scalable, compliant production workflows. Her work helps bring personalized, life-changing medicine to patients who need them most.

Alongside her technical contributions, Schiraldi leads the Recipe Analyst Community of Practice, an initiative focused on mentorship and knowledge-sharing across engineering teams. She is also continuing to build on her passion for science and patient impact by pursuing a Master of Science in regenerative and stem cell technologies at Johns Hopkins University, with the goal of further contributing to the future of innovative therapies.
