Biologics Process Research & Development Scientist

Overview

Biologics Process Research & Development (BPR&D) within our Company's Research Laboratories is on a mission to rapidly deliver biotherapeutics to patients by efficiently developing innovative, robust manufacturing processes and technologies. We work closely with colleagues in Discovery, Pre-clinical, Early Development, Analytical, Formulation, and Commercial Manufacturing while providing an inclusive environment for all. Beyond process development for pipeline biologics, we innovate and build next generation biomanufacturing technologies, including continuous manufacturing, green and sustainable processes, and proprietary technology platforms.

We actively publish and engage with the scientific community to influence the field.

• Develop innovative and disruptive technologies for next-generation biologics manufacturing processes
• Develop and characterize robust clinical processes capable of delivering multi-kilogram quantities of therapeutics
• Design and conduct experiments related to cell-line development, upstream or downstream bioprocessing
• Integrate unit operations with relevant process control and monitoring platforms
• Collaborate across Biologics Process Research & Development (BPR&D), process analytics, and other functional areas in research and manufacturing to advance the biologics pipeline
• Conduct laboratory- and/or pilot-scale studies to support scale-up and technology transfer to manufacturing sites
• Contribute to a safe and compliant laboratory work environment
