Come join our growing team as a Scientist in the Process Development group to help us bring our disruptive viral therapies from the lab to the patients who need them. We’re looking for an individual with demonstrated experience developing purification processes, transferring them to GMP manufacturing, and sustaining them throughout the drug development lifecycle. You should be excited about jumping in, getting hands-on, growing a company from the beginning, making a transformational difference for patients, and making big contributions to the inclusive culture we are building.
About the role:
- Demonstrated expertise in end-to-end purification and formulation of sterile, injectable, LVV-based gene therapy clinical trial materials.
- Mentor and build a talented purification development team to align with the needs of the organization over time.
- Plan and execute the technology transfer and scale-up of our processes at external partners.
- Enable the success of our clinical manufacturing campaigns by leading GMP manufacturing investigations and implementing process improvements.
- Prepare our early-stage processes for pivotal and commercial supply through scale-up and improving robustness.
- Evolve our platform process: Evaluate novel chromatography and filtration techniques in the lab to efficiently manufacture high purity products suitable for human use.
- Perform and supervise experimental planning, execution, analytical testing, analysis, and reporting.
- Author relevant CMC sections for regulatory submissions.
- Collaborate with Research, Upstream PD, and Analytical groups to achieve industry-leading purity and potency.
- Travel is required from time-to-time to support external development efforts on-site (10-25%).
About you:
- Degree in chemical engineering, biochemistry, or related field with relevant industry experience.
- Strong background in purification process development or MSAT, including lab-based work.
- In-depth understanding of principles of scale-up and how to design processes that are a fit for GMP manufacturing.
- Proven ability to work collaboratively, meet deadlines, and prioritize and flexibly balance multiple workstreams.
- Pragmatic problem solver with a get-it-done attitude.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, close attention to detail, and strong organizational skills.
- Knowledge of bioanalytical techniques (flow cytometry, ELISA, qPCR).
- Prior experience preparing health authority submissions preferred.
- Management, leadership, and/or mentorship experience preferred but not required.
