Process Development Scientist

About Us

Eupraxia is a clinical‑stage biotechnology company focused on developing locally delivered, extended‑release products that have the potential to address therapeutic areas with high unmet medical need. Diffu Sphere™, a proprietary, polymer‑based micro‑sphere technology, is designed to facilitate targeted drug delivery of both existing and novel drugs. The technology is designed to support an extended duration of effect and delivery of drugs in a hyper‑localised fashion, targeting only the tissues that physicians want to treat.

We believe the potential for fewer adverse events may be achieved through the precision targeting and the stable and flat delivery of the active ingredient when using the Diffu Sphere™ technology, versus the peaks and troughs seen with more traditional drug delivery methods. The precision of Eupraxia's Diffu Sphere™ technology platform has the potential to augment and transform existing FDA‑approved drugs to improve their safety, tolerability, efficacy and duration of effect.

The potential uses in therapeutic areas extend beyond pain and inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, where Eupraxia is currently developing advanced treatments, to applications in oncology, infectious disease and other critical disease areas.

The Process Development Scientist will be responsible for developing and overseeing manufacturing processes for our Diffu Sphere formulations at our contract manufacturing sites, including responsibilities for process scale up and optimisation.
