  • HPLC methods (SE-HPLC, IEX, HIC, RP-HPLC)
  • Capillary Gel Electrophoresis (CGE)
  • Imaged Capillary Electrophoresis (iCE)
  • Spectroscopic techniques
  • Light obscuration and microflow imaging
  • Additional analytical characterization methods as needed
• Provide general laboratory support, including reagent and consumable ordering, equipment maintenance, continuous improvement activities, and participation in periodic laboratory inspections.
• Collaborate effectively with a multidisciplinary team of scientists to support formulation optimization and overall candidate progression.
• Prepare data summary presentations, support data verification activities, compile and manage datasets, and utilize laboratory data systems such as Empower and electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs).
• Communicate effectively with laboratory scientists, project managers, and cross-functional colleagues.
