The Purification Process Development (PPD) group is responsible for developing robust and efficient purification processes of recombinant proteins and other biological therapeutics from early to late stage of development. It also optimizes processes for scale up, facility fit and transfer technologies.
The candidate would work with key scientists in a fast- paced laboratory environment to develop or optimize process steps and solve problems for a wide variety of biotherapeutic constructs.
The principal established technologies the candidate may contribute to include cell removal, chromatography, viral clearance, and ultrafiltration, while targeting high purity and high yield processes.
Job Responsibilities and Requirements:
Experience with bioprocess technology and in biologics purification using chromatographic and filtration techniques is required.
Familiarity with laboratory process development equipment for chromatography (ATKA) and supporting software such as Unicorn is preferred
Work closely with colleagues to support product development optimization and understands analytical tools to assess and interpret experimental data
Maintains written records (electronic lab notebooks and databases) of all experimental work in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices
The successful candidate must have strong organizational skills, good lab safety awareness and effective oral and written communication skills. Applicants should be self-motivated, organized, capable of working independently, and in a collaborative environment.
Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or other related discipline
