Bridge Laboratory Innovation with Pilot-Scale Manufacturing
Join a dedicated team focused on the development and optimization of downstream processes for biopharmaceutical and vaccine products. This role offers a key opportunity to connect laboratory-scale experimentation with pilot plant operations, directly contributing to clinical programs and business milestones. It is an ideal position for individuals with hands-on experience in downstream purification who are eager to take technical ownership of processes while collaborating with senior scientists.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and execute laboratory and pilot-scale studies, focusing on downstream purification processes such as chromatography, filtration, and centrifugation.
- Utilize statistical tools, such as Design of Experiments, to design, analyze, and interpret complex data sets, making informed decisions to guide project direction.
- Author high-quality technical reports and documentation to ensure process knowledge is captured and transferable.
- Maintain compliance with GxP standards during experimental execution and documentation, adhering to safety protocols and established systems of work.
- Support laboratory housekeeping and monitor equipment readiness, including maintenance schedules and liaising with service providers.
- Provide regular updates on project progress to stakeholders and contribute to knowledge-sharing initiatives within the team.
- Collaborate with team members to meet project timelines and technical standards.
Essential Skills and Requirements
- Degree in Biology, Biochemistry, or a related life sciences discipline.
- Hands-on experience in downstream process development or manufacturing within the biopharmaceutical industry.
- Proficiency in downstream techniques such as chromatography (e.g., FPLC, AKTA systems), tangential flow filtration (TFF), and depth filtration.
- Familiarity with process scale-up and statistical analysis tools (e.g., JMP software).
- Understanding of GxP standards and compliance requirements.
- Strong technical reporting and communication skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.
