The Research Associate, Analytical Development will be responsible for executing the development / implementation / optimization of assays necessary for assessing protein characteristics. Another key responsibility is to execute routine execution of platform tests necessary to assess the quality of manufactured lots and to support discovery and process development activities. Additional responsibilities will be to participate in the pre-validation of developed assays, using defined scientific and regulatory practices, to perform the trending of data, and to write and/or review analytical documentation. The incumbent will also participate in the development of product formulation studies and stability studies.
You will love this job if:
- You thrive in a fast-paced environment with lots of responsibility and opportunity to learn.
- You are a self-starter who enjoys working as a team player and value solid communication.
Key Responsibilities:
- Analyze recombinant protein candidates produced from mammalian cells using typical assays for protein characterization (e.g.: HPLC, CE, SDS-PAGE, DLS, ELISA).
- Execute the implementation of analytical assays for R&D purposes as well as for transfer to quality control laboratories.
- Participate to the design and execute product stability studies.
- Analyze experimental data and properly document experiments (electronic lab notebook and records).
- Participate in the development of protein formulation chemistry and the execution of required analyses.
- Generate protocols and reports on performed experiments.
