Through dedicated collaboration with the scientific and engineering communities, and as one of the top three R&D investors in the life science tools industry, the brand serves as a strategic partner to customers and helps advance the promise of life science.

Job Description
  • Design fit-for-purpose purification experiments according to the stage of development
  • Ensure scientific evaluation of impact of deviations to Downstream validation studies
  • Compile and analyze experimental data to generate process knowledge and decide on next steps
  • Write development and validation reports and ensure their timely delivery
  • Prepare and present project updates to global project team and to upper management
  • Ensure a continuous improvement within Downstream process development activities
  • Represent & promote E2E and Biodevelopment activities (presentations, congresses, events)
  • Technical lead on the overall projects (supervises Downstream processes development and implementation of new methods and services)
  • Technical leader for equipment, technologies for Downstream process development
  • Responsible for activities ranging from protein purification, filtration, biochemical and biophysical characterization of proteins: -
  • Execute routine protein purification with affinity, size exclusion, ion exchange, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography using AKTA systems (Unicorn software)
  • Perform analyses including but not limited to SDS-PAGE, SE-HPLC, LAL, host cell-DNA, host cell protein, as necessary
  • To develop, validate and transfer robust analytical methods required for successful drug development and manufacturing.
  • To support follow-up and troubleshooting on analytical methods.
  • Provide expertise and insight to guide development of appropriate purification methods
