Bioprocessing Scale-up Scientist

Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Bioprocessing Scientist/Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in large-scale bioprocessing, particularly in the development of biologics and cell and gene therapy (CGT) products. This role requires a strong background in working with stem cells and organoids in 3D cultures using stirred‑tank reactors (STRs), as well as expertise in laboratory operations, equipment troubleshooting, and large-scale process optimization.

The successful candidate will play a critical role in advancing our bioprocessing capabilities and ensuring the efficient operation of our laboratory facilities.
