• Assist in the review, revision, and remediation of process documentation to maintain compliance and accuracy.
• Support process change controls by helping to document and implement approved changes to manufacturing procedures.
• Contribute to day-to-day viral vector core production operations and related manufacturing tasks.
• Prepare materials, equipment, and documentation for upcoming manufacturing runs and process steps.
