In this role, you will play an important part in the development of mammalian upstream processes ready for transfer to a manufacturing site. Moreover, you will help drive the establishment of a data-driven process development approach. We are looking for a highly motivated and collaborative individual with a passion for data-driven lab work, who enjoys working in a fast-paced and highly dynamic working environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Planning, conducting, evaluating, and documenting experiments for the development of scalable and robust upstream processes for our antibody formats.
- Production of drug candidates for internal developability programs as well as for in vivo studies.
- Analysis of in-process cell culture samples to guide process development, e.g., Cedex Bio Analyzer, HPLC (application of established methods by the Analytics team).
- Support the team in increasing cell cultivation capacities for efficient, fast-paced, and fully data-driven upstream development.
- Responsible system owner for assigned equipment.
Your Profile
- Apprenticeship with min. 3 years of working experience or BSc preferably in biochemistry, biotechnology or a related discipline.
- Experience in mammalian cell cultivation and upstream process development for drug substance manufacturing in the pharmaceutical / biotech industry is essential.
- Experience in key analytical methods for upstream process development, e.g., HPLC based titer methods and metabolite analytics etc.
- Experience with non-standard antibody formats, as well as in mammalian cell line development is considered as a plus.
- English (written and spoken) skills suitable for day-to-day interaction, documentation, and presentation of lab work.
- Proven ability to work independently, as well as across teams’ boundaries.
